Store the instrument 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 thermometer in an antistatic plastic film.
2. Place the thermometer, 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).

The gas actuated thermometer must be earthed via the

When screwing the instruments in, the force required to do this must
not be applied through the casing, but only through the spanner flats
provided for this purpose and using a suitable tool.
