Handling
2.1
First Inspection
The measuring instrument has already been tested thoroughly at the factory. At delivery, proceed to a visual control to
make sure that no damage has occurred during transportation.
Check that the specifications of the measuring instrument delivered correspond to the specifications given on the pur-
chase order.
The type and the serial number of the transmitter are shown on the nameplate. The transducer type is printed on the trans-
ducers.
2.2
General Precautions
The UDM 300 is a precision measuring instrument and has to be handled with care. To obtain good measurement results
and not damage the measuring instrument, it is important that great attention is paid to the instructions given in this user
man- ual, particularly to the following points:
• Protect the transmitter from shocks.
• Keep the transducers clean. Manipulate the transducer cables with caution. Avoid excessive cable bend.
• Make sure to work under correct ambient and operating temperatures. The ambient temperature has to be within the op-
erating temperature range of the transmitter and the transducers (see annex B).
• Observe the degree of protection (see annex B).
2.3
Cleaning
• Clean the transmitter with a soft cloth. Do not use detergents.
• Remove traces of the coupling compound from the transducers with a soft paper towel.
2.4
Storage
• Wipe the transducers clean of traces of the coupling compound.
• After the measurement, always put the transmitter and its accessories into the corresponding compartments of the trans-
port case.
• Avoid excessive cable bends, especially when closing the cover of the transport case.
• Observe the notes on the storage of the battery (see Storage of the battery in section 6.3.1).
