5. Transport, packaging and storage
5.1 Transport
Check low-pressure controller for any damage that may have been caused by transport.
Obvious damage must be reported immediately.
5.2 Packaging
Do not remove packaging until just before mounting.
Keep the packaging as it will provide optimum protection during transport (e.g. change in
installation site, sending for repair).
5.3 Storage
Permissible conditions at the place of storage:
■
Storage temperature: -10 ... +70 °C
■
Humidity: 30 ... 80 % r. h. (no condensation)
Avoid exposure to the following factors:
■
Direct sunlight or proximity to hot objects
■
Mechanical vibration, mechanical shock (putting it down hard)
■
Soot, vapour, dust and corrosive gases
■
Potentially explosive environments, flammable atmospheres
Store the low-pressure controller in its original packaging in a location that fulfils the
conditions listed above. If the original packaging is not available, pack and store the
instrument as described below:
1. Wrap the instrument in an antistatic plastic film.
2. Place the instrument, along with shock-absorbent material, in the packaging.
3. If stored for a prolonged period of time (more than 30 days), place a bag, containing a
desiccant, inside the packaging.
4. Do not storage the instrument with the pressure connections closed! Barometric
pressure changes can damage instruments with low pressure ranges.
WARNING!
Before storing the instrument (following operation), remove any residual
media. This is of particular importance if the medium is hazardous to
health, e.g. caustic, toxic, carcinogenic, radioactive, etc..
