3.1 Transport
EN
Check the instrument for any damage that may have been caused.
In the event of any damage, do not commission the instrument and contact the
manufacturer immediately.
If the instrument is transported from a cold into a warm environment, the formation of
condensation may result in instrument malfunction. Prior to recommissioning, wait for
the instrument temperature and the room temperature to equalise.
3.2 Packaging and storage
Do not remove packaging until just before mounting.
Keep the packaging as it will provide optimum protection during transport (e.g. change
in place of use, sending for repair).
Permissible conditions at the place of storage:
Storage temperature: 0 ... 70 °C [32 ... 158 °F]
■
Humidity: 35 ... 85 % relative humidity (non-condensing)
■
Avoid exposure to the following factors:
Direct sunlight or proximity to hot objects
■
Mechanical vibration, mechanical shock (putting it down hard)
■
Soot, vapour, dust and corrosive gases
■
Hazardous environments, flammable atmospheres
■
Store the instrument in its original packaging in a location that fulfils the previously listed
conditions. Instruments that have already been commissioned must be cleaned before
storage, see chapter 7.2 "Cleaning".
If the original packaging is not available, pack and store the instrument as described
below:
1. Place the instrument, along with the shock-absorbent material, in the packaging.
2. If stored for a prolonged period of time (more than 30 days), place a bag containing a
desiccant inside the packaging.
