7. Servicing, Maintenance, Cleaning, Repairing

Always open isolating devices gently, never abruptly, since this may
generate sudden pressure surges that may damage the gauge.
Pressure instruments with an electrical output signal / electronic pressure
switch require no maintenance and offer a long service life, if handled and
operated properly. If the zero point drifts, it means that the instrument has
been overloaded.
Clean the instrument with a moistened cloth. If badly soiled, moisten the
cloth thoroughly with soapy water.
Repairs should be only be carried out by the manufacturer or by appropri-
ately trained staff.

8. Storage

Before the system is stored, all traces of any medium
residue must be removed. This is particularly important,
if the media is a health hazard such as corrosive, toxic,
carcinogenic, radioactice, etc.
Before installation, in order to prevent damage to the pressure
instrument, the following points should be observed:
The pressure instrument should be left in its original packaging until
■
installation.
After taking the instrument out (e.g. for test), reuse the original
■
packaging material.
The storage temperature should not be less than -40 °C or more
■
than +90 °C
Avoid the following influences:
Direct sunlight or vicinity to hot objects
■
Mechanical vibration
■
Sot, steam, dust, humidity and corrosive gasses
