5. UNPACKING
Let the instruments acclimatize in the location where they are going to be installed for at least one
hour inside their shipment box. This is to avoid moisture buildup inside the instrument, or on the
connectors and wires.
When the equipment is taken out of the box, please leave the transport locking cap and the outside
protection, in place as long as possible to avoid any damage.
The
ViscoSense
®
3
sensor has a special DLC coating on the pendulum.
Damage of the coating will influence the working of the sensor.
Special care should be taken not to scratch or damage the DLC coating.
The transport locking cap and the outside protection should be stored, in the unlikely event the
equipment has to be returned for repair.
Dispose of the packing material should be done according to the laws of the country where the
equipment is installed, or according to the rules that are applicable on the vessel.
