5.3 Storage
Permissible conditions at the place of storage:
Storage temperature:
■
Instruments without built-in transmitter: -40 ... +85 °C
Instruments with built-in transmitter:
Humidity: 35 ... 85 % relative humidity (no condensation)
■
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
■
Store the instrument in its original packaging in a location that fulfils the conditions listed above. If
the original packaging is not available, pack and store the instrument as described below:
1. Wrap the instrument in an antistatic plastic film.
2. Place the instrument, along with shock-absorbent material, in the packaging.
3. If stored for a prolonged period of time (more than 30 days), place a bag, containing a desic-
cant, inside the packaging.
WARNING!
Before storing the instrument (following operation), remove any residual media. This
is of particular importance if the medium is hazardous to health, e.g. caustic, toxic,
carcinogenic, radioactive, etc.
6. Commissioning, operation
WARNING!
When the thermometer is mounted, the temperature must not drop below the allowed
operating temperature (environment, medium) or exceed it, even when taking
convection and heat radiation into account!
6.1 Electrical connection
CAUTION!
Damage to cables and wires, and to connection points must be avoided
■
Flying leads with bare ends must be finished with ferrule ends (cable preparation)
■
Both the internal capacitance and inductance must be considered
