8 Dismount

8.1  Dismounting steps

Warning:

Before dismounting, be aware of dangerous process conditions such 

as e.g. pressure in the vessel, high temperatures, corrosive or toxic 

products etc.
Take note of chapters "

Mounting

" and "

Connecting to voltage supply

and carry out the listed steps in reverse order.

With Ex instruments, the housing cover may only be opened if there is 

no explosive atmosphere present.
