Transporting flangeddevices (DN > 300)
Use only the metal eyes on the flanges for transporting the device, lifting it and positioning the
sensor in the piping.
"
Caution!
Do not attempt to lift the sensor with the tines of a fork-lift truck beneath the metal casing. This
would buckle the casing and damage the internal magnetic coils.

Storage
Note the following points:
• Pack the measuring device in such a way as to protect it reliably against impact for storage (and
transportation). The original packaging provides optimum protection.
• The storage temperature corresponds to the ambient temperature range of the measuring
transmitter and the appropriate measuring sensors.
• The measuring device must be protected against direct sunlight during storage in order to avoid
unacceptably high surface temperatures.
• Choose a storage location where moisture does not collect in the measuring device. This will help
prevent fungus and bacteria infestation which can damage the liner.
• Do not remove the protective plates or caps on the process connections until the device is ready
to install. This is particularly important in the case of sensors with PTFE linings.
