5.3 Storage
Permissible conditions at the place of storage:
Storage temperature: -40 … +70 °C (EN 13190) without liquid damping
-20 … +70 °C (EN 13190) with liquid damping
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
■ Potentially explosive environments, flammable atmospheres
Store the gas-actuated thermometer in its original packaging in
a location that fulfils the conditions listed above. If the original
packaging is not available, pack and store the thermometer 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 desiccant 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..
The use of liquid damping is always recommended for
temperatures near the dew point (±1 °C around 0 °C).
