INFORMATION!
Inspect the cartons carefully for damage or signs of rough handling. Report damage to the
carrier and to the local office of the manufacturer.
INFORMATION!
Check the packing list to check if you received completely all that you ordered.
INFORMATION!
Look at the device nameplate to ensure that the device is delivered according to your order.
CAUTION!
Store industrial thermometers in a dry place protected from dust. The permissible range for
storage temperatures is -40...+70°C / -40...+176°F.
CAUTION!
Always transport industrial thermometers in their original packaging. Do not expose the devices
to moisture or vibration during transport. The information that applies to storage also applies to
transport.
DANGER!
For devices used in hazardous areas, additional safety notes apply; please refer to the Ex
documentation.
CAUTION!
Ensure that you have taken the following points into consideration prior to installing the
thermometer:
• The dimensions of the thermowell (length, diameter, wall thickness, type of tip) comply with
the requirements of the measuring point. The mechanical load as a result of flowing media,
vibration and resonances is the focus here. In addition, incorrect dimensions can lead to
measurement errors.
• The thermowell is sufficiently resistant to chemically aggressive media (refer to the generally
accessible corrosion tables). Otherwise, corrosion may occur or the medium may penetrate
into the thermowell. When in doubt, select a thermowell made from the same material as
your system.
