4.1 Transport
Check the tension/compression force transducer for any damage that may have been
caused by transport. Obvious damage must be reported immediately.
CAUTION!
Damage through improper transport
With improper transport, a high level of damage to property can occur.
▶
When unloading packed goods upon delivery as well as during
internal transport, proceed carefully and observe the symbols on the
packaging.
▶
With internal transport, observe the instructions in chapter 4.2
“Packaging and storage”.
As precision measuring instruments, transducers require careful handling during
transport and mounting. Load impacts during transport (e.g. hitting a hard surface) can
lead to permanent damage, resulting in measuring errors in the subsequent measuring
operation.
4.2 Packaging and storage
Do not remove packaging until just before mounting.
Keep the packaging as it will provide optimum protection during transport (e.g. change
in installation site, sending for repair).
The measuring tube is made completely of stainless steel. The version of the accessory
cables has an ingress protection of IP67. The ingress protection IP67 is only guaranteed
in the plugged-in state. During storage the protection cap must always be on the electri-
cal connection to avoid entry of moisture and dirt.
Permissible conditions at the place of storage:
■
Storage temperature: -40 ... +85 °C
■
Humidity: 35 ... 85 % relative humidity (non-condensing)
Avoid exposure to the following factors:
■
Mechanical vibration, mechanical shock (putting it down hard)
■
Dust, dirt, and other objects may not be deposited in such a way that they form a
force shunt with the measuring tube, since this will falsify the measuring signal.
