11 Repair, maintenance and disposal

u

After use dispose of the unit in an environmentally friendly way in accordance with the applicable
national regulations.

u

For transport only use appropriate packaging to avoid damage of the unit.

u

In case of return shipment, ensure that the unit is free from soiling, especially from dangerous and
toxic substances.

u

Keep the process connection free of deposits and foreign bodies.

u

In case of heavy soiling: 
clean the process connection and the probe at regular intervals.

In case of longer operation separation layers can form in the medium (e.g. oil on water). This applies
especially to still pipes or bypasses.

u

Remove the separation layers at regular intervals.

u

Ensure that the vent hole (at the upper end of the coaxial pipe) remains free.

u

Keep the interior of the coaxial pipe clear of foreign bodies and soiling.
