4.2 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
installation site, sending for repair).
Permissible conditions at the place of storage:
EN
Storage temperature: -20 ... +70 °C
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 conditions listed
above.

5. Commissioning, operation

Personnel: Skilled personnel
Before installation, commissioning and operation, ensure that the appropriate instrument has
been selected in terms of scale range, design and specific measuring conditions.
WARNING!
Physical injuries and damage to property and the environment caused by
hazardous media
Upon contact with hazardous media (e.g. with flammable or toxic substances),
harmful media (e.g. corrosive, toxic, carcinogenic, radioactive), there is a danger of
physical injuries and damage to property and the environment.
Should a failure occur, aggressive media with extremely high temperature and
under high pressure may be present at the instrument.

WARNING!
Physical injuries and damage to property and the environment caused by
media escaping under high pressure
With the pressurisation of the instrument, as a result of poor sealing of the
process connection, media under high pressure can escape.
Due to the high energy of the media that can escape in the event of a failure, the
possibility of physical injuries and damage to property exists.

For these media, in addition to all standard regulations, the appropriate exist-
ing codes or regulations must also be followed.
Wear the requisite protective equipment.
The sealing of the process connection must be carried out expertly and
checked for leak tightness.
