10.1 Behavior after rectifying the fault
See chapter 8 Assembly/Installation
11 Removal, disposal
11.1 Disassembly
 During maintenance work on the unit, the lines must be depressurized and the system must be secured against
being switched on again.
 Dismantle the measuring device using a suitable tool
 For devices with case filling, close the vent plug before disassembly
Residual media in and on dismantled measuring instruments can endanger people, the environment
and equipment. Sufficient precautionary measures must be taken. If necessary, the devices must be
cleaned thoroughly (see notes in the safety data sheets).
11.2 Disposal
At the end of the product life cycle, do not dispose of this product with normal household waste. Take this
product to a collection point or a specialist disposal company for recycling of the components.
With the help of the product coding and our data sheets (see Appendix 12.1 available on our website) you will receive
the necessary information to be able to carry out a material separation yourself. Our devices described in this manual
are mostly made of stainless steels which can be recycled. Before disassembling, check if there is a device filled with
filling fluid. This fluid must first be drained off and collected in accordance with the safety instructions in the safety data
sheet. Then separate the case ring, which carries the window, from the case using a strap wrench. The sealing ring
and flat glass can be removed. Next, remove the pointer and dial, which are made of aluminum. Dismantle the venting
and pressure equalization device last, everything else is made of stainless steel.
Materials to be recycled:
 Filling fluid (oil see data sheet)
 Stainless steel (case, case ring, Bourdon tube socket, Bourdon tube, movement see data sheet)
 Dial and pointer (aluminum)
 Window (see data sheet glass or plastic)
Seals (sealing ring of the sight glass, venting device, pressure relief device)
