5. Transport, packaging and storage
5.1 Transport
Check the instrument for any damage that may have been caused during transportation.
Obvious damage must be reported immediately.
5.2 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, sending for repair).
Keep the protection cap of the process connection for later transport or storage.
5.3 Storage
Permissible conditions at the place of storage:
■ Storage temperature: -20 ... +80 °C
■ Humidity: 45 ... 75 % relative humidity (no condensation)
WARNING!
Before storing the pressure transmitter (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
CAUTION!
Prior to commissioning, the pressure transmitter must be subjected to a visual inspection.
■ Check the diaphragm for any visible damage, since this is a safety-relevant component.
■ Leaking fluid is indicative of damage.
■ Only use the pressure transmitter if it is in perfect condition with respect to safety.
