Chapter 2. General Precautions
2-1. Inspection upon delivery
Upon receiving the instrument, immediately check it for any damage which it might have
sustained while being shipped. If any signs of damage to the instrument are found or if
there are any missing accessories, immediately notify the transport company and your Azbil
Corporation agent.
2-2. Checking the specifications
The main specifications are given on the nameplate fixed on the casing of the instrument.
Check that the specifications conform with those in the model number table. (When making
any enquires regarding the instrument, please state the model number and serial number.)
2-3. Transporting the instrument
To prevent damage to the instrument when it is being moved to the place of installation, it is
best if it is packed as it was shipped from the factory.
2-4. Storing the instrument
(1) Store the instrument in a place where the instrument is not exposed to rain or other
adverse weather or to mechanical vibration or shocks. Although the “specification” storing
temperature range of the instrument is -40°C to +85°C (that of the instrument with
indicator is 0°C to +55°C), it is most recommendable to store the instrument at normal
temperature and normal humidity (approximately 25°C and 65% RH).
(2) It is most recommendable to store the instrument in the packing in the state in which the
instrument is delivered to you.
(3) When storing the instrument which has been used, be sure to drain out liquid from both
high and low pressure sides of the meter body and thoroughly clear the instrument.
(4) When the measured fluid is toxic, handle the instrument carefully even after the pressures
are released from the instrument.
