2. HANDLING CAUTIONS
This chapter describes important cautions regarding
how to handle the transmitter. Read carefully before
using the transmitter.
The EJA Series pressure transmitters are thoroughly
tested at the factory before shipment. When the
transmitter is delivered, visually check them to make
sure that no damage occurred during shipment.
Also check that all transmitter mounting hardware
shown in Figure 2.1 is included. If the transmitter was
ordered without the mounting bracket, the transmitter
mounting hardware is not included. After checking the
transmitter, repack it in the way it was delivered until
installation.

2.2 Unpacking
When moving the transmitter to the installation site,
keep it in its original packaging. Then, unpack the
transmitter there to avoid damage on the way.
2.3 Storage
The following precautions must be observed when
storing the instrument, especially for a long period.
(a) Select a storage area which meets the following
conditions:
• It is not exposed to rain or water.
• It suffers minimum vibration and shock.
• It has an ambient temperature and relative
humidity within the following ranges.
Ambient temperature:
–40 to 85
°
C without integral indicator
–30 to 80
°
C with integral indicator
Relative humidity:
5% to 100% R.H. (at 40
°
C)
Preferred temperature and humidity:
approx. 25
°
C and 65% R.H.
(b) When storing the transmitter, repack it as nearly as
possible to the way it was packed when delivered
from the factory.
(c) If storing a transmitter that has been used, thor-
oughly clean the diaphragm surface of the dia-
phragm seal (pressure-detector section), so that no
measured fluid remains on them. Also make sure
before storing that the pressure-detector and
transmitter assemblies are securely mounted.
