12.5. Storage
12.5.1. Hardness tester shall be kept in the carry case, the probe
and the batteries shall be disconnected.
12.5.2. If hardness tester is kept in the carry case for than 14 days,
the battery shall be taken out from its compartment in the
information processing unit.
12.5.3. It is recommended to keep hardness testers in closed
premises with the relative humidity not more than 80%, there shall
be no mold, paints, acids, chemical agents and other chemicals, the
evaporation of which my give a harmful effect. Sharp fluctuations of
temperature and humidity which can result in dew formation are not
allowed.
12.6. Transportation
12.6.1. Hardness tester transportation in the carry case shall be only
in closed vehicles, where the possibility of mechanical damage or
atmospheric precipitation is excluded.
12.6.2. The way packed in carry cases hardness testers are located
inside the vehicle shall exclude.
12.7. Putting into operation after storage and transportation
12.7.1. After storage or transportation under the temperature lower
than -
5°C, before starting hardness tester operation, it is necessary
to keep it not longer than 1 hour under the temperature higher than
+10°C and not less than 2 hours under the temperature higher than
0°C.
12.7.2. Before operating hardness tester which was stored for more
than 3 months and transported for more than 2 months, it is
necessary to check such hardness tester on the reference hardness
test blocks. If the measured AVEARGE value of the hardness tester
does not correspond to the reference hardness test block NOMINAL
value within the error limits, it is necessary to calibrate the hardness
tester.
