MANUAL TME400-VCF · EN04 · 2019 March 26th

Caution

It is necessary to remove the seals, particularly the seal over the calibration
button in order to boot up (see Figure 9: Position of the calibration button).

The TME400 must only be used for custody transfer with unbroken seal. Re-
moval or damage to seals normally entails considerable expenses!

Re-application of seals must only be carried out by an officially recognized
inspection authority or calibration officials!
