Notes and recommendations:
•
Do not affix any labels or stickers to the aeration and ventilation membrane or
paint over the membrane. Longer moist periods and rapid temperature changes
may briefly reduce the availability of the device. This applies in particular to previ‐
ously switched off devices that are started in the application and were previously
exposed to the aforementioned environmental influences.
•
In some circumstances, therefore, a period of time should be allowed before
measurement readiness of the device because any moisture in the housing must
first be taken up by the air in the housing, which is heated up through the
operation of the device, so that it can then escape via the aeration and ventilation
membrane. Depending on the nature of the precipitated moisture, this time period
might be several minutes or even up to hours. It is recommended that the LMS5xx
variants with an aeration and ventilation membrane be operated continuously
during the application (continuous operation).
•
It is recommended to connect the integrated sensor heating according to the
specifications in the operating instructions to ensure additional heat input at low
ambient temperatures.
