2.3 Storage and handling
2.3.1 Storage
The ambient temperature must be 0-45 °C, and the relative humidity must be
20-90% RH.
The pH/Temperature sensor uses an electrode which is stored inside the
system in a separate container to maximize electrode lifetime. The electrode
is packed in a sealed bag and delivered with a safety cap on to ensure the
electrode is kept moist. The electrode will be damaged if it dries out. Refer
to section 6.5 for additional information.
2.3.2 Calibration kit
Calibration solutions come with expiry dates. The calibration kit has an
expiry date of approximately 12 months from the date of delivery. Store
calibration kits at 5-25 °C.
Calibration solutions can become damaged at temperatures below 0 °C
and temperatures above 25 °C may reduce their accuracy and lifetimes.
However, storage temperatures of up to 35 °C for calibration liquids are
permitted during transport but only for a period of seven days.
When using the calibration liquids, ensure their temperature is about 20 °C
for the highest accuracy.
2.4 Control of delivery
Please check the equipment upon arrival, ensuring that the equipment has
been transported properly.
Check for any damage. If any damage is found immediately make a note on
the delivery document. Remove the packing and check for intrusive water or
signs of humidity.
Check for missing parts against the packing list. Any discrepancy or damage
should be reported to Green Instruments A/S immediately.
