5. Transport, packaging and storage
5.1 Transport
Check the instrument 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: -40 ... 85 °C
■
Humidity: 35 ... 85 % relative humidity (no condensation)
Avoidance of 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 instrument in its original packaging in a location that fulfils the conditions listed
above. If the original packaging is not available, pack and store the thermometer 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.
