2. Handling Cautions
This chapter provides important information on how
to handle the transmitter. Read this carefully before
using the transmitter.
The transmitters are thoroughly tested at the
factory before shipment. When taking delivery of an
instrument, visually check them to make sure that
no damage occurred during shipment.
Also check that all transmitter mounting hardware
shown in figure 2.1 is included. If the transmitter
is ordered without the process connector, the
transmitter mounting hardware will not be included.
After checking the transmitter, carefully repack it in
its box and keep it there until you are ready to install
it.

2.2 Unpacking
Keep the transmitter in its original packaging to
prevent it from being damaged during shipment.
Do not unpack the transmitter until it reaches the
installation site.
2.3 Storage
The following precautions must be observed when
storing the instrument, especially for a long period.
(a) Select a storage area which meets the following
conditions:
• It is not exposed to rain or subject to water
seepage/leaks.
• Vibration and shock are kept to a minimum.
• It has an ambient temperature and relative
humidity within the following ranges.
Ambient temperature:
–40* to 85°C without integral indicator
–30* to 80°C with integral indicator
* –15°C when /HE is specified.
Relative humidity:
0% to 100% R.H. (at 40°C)
Preferred temperature and humidity:
approx. 25°C and 65% R.H.
(b) When storing the transmitter, repack it carefully
in the packaging that it was originally shipped
with.
(c) If the transmitter has been used, thoroughly
clean the chambers inside the cover flanges
and the diaphragm surface of high pressure-
detector section, so that there is no process
fluid remaining inside or on it. Before placing it
in storage, also make sure that the pressure-
detector is securely connected to the transmitter
section.
