Inspection

 

 

It is important to check all the equipment in the shipment as soon as possible after 

taking delivery and well before installation is to be carried out.  Check that all the 

components detailed on the documents are included in the shipment.  Check that the 

equipment has not been physically damaged.

 

 

ALL

3000 NATM Cells 

carry a 

unique

 identification serial number 

which is located on the cable close to the pressure sensor body and at the free end of 

the cable.  All  are supplied with individual calibration sheets that include their serial 

numbers and these will shipped with the cells.

 

 

 
 
 

 

Calibration Sheets contain VITAL information about the NATM 

Cell.  They MUST be stored in a safe place.  Only copies 

should be taken to site.

Handling

 

  

Whilst they are a robust devices,

3000 NATM Cells 

are precision 

measuring instruments.  They and their associated equipment should always be 

handled with care during transportation, storage and installation.

 

 

Once the shipment has been inspected ( see below ), it is recommended that cells 

remain in their original packaging for storage or transportation.

 

 

Cable should also be handled with care.  Do not allow it to be damaged by sharp 

edges, rocks for example, and do not exert force on the cable as this my damage the 

internal conductors and could render the installation useless.

are packed for transportation to site. Packaging 

is suitably robust to allow normal handling by transportation companies.  

Inappropriate handling techniques may cause damage to the packaging and the 

enclosed equipment.  The packaging should be carefully inspected upon delivery and 

any damage MUST be reported to both the transportation company
