4. Transport, packaging and storage
4.1 Transport
Check the process transmitter for any damage that may have been caused by transport.
Obvious damage must be reported immediately.
4.2 Packaging
Do not remove packaging until just before mounting.
Keep the packaging as it will provide optimum protection during transport (e.g. change
in installation site, return for calibration).
4.3 Storage
Permissible conditions at the place of storage:
Storage temperature: -40 ... +80 °C
■
Humidity: 35 ... 93 % relative humidity (no condensation)
■
Avoid exposure to the following factors:
Proximity to hot objects, when permissible storage temperature is exceeded by
■
radiation.
Mechanical vibration, mechanical shock (putting it down hard), when the permissible
■
values are exceeded, see chapter 15 "Specifications".
Soot, vapour, dust and corrosive gases
■
Hazardous areas and flammable atmospheres where the instruments are not suitable
■
for installation in or mounting to equipment in explosive atmospheres.
Store the process transmitter in its original packaging in a location that fulfils the condi-
tions listed above. If the original packaging is not available, then store the instrument
in a container that is similar to the original packaging, so that the instrument cannot be
scratched and is protected against damage if dropped.
