4 STORAGE
The pressure gauge fitted to the digital version of the Elcometer 108 uses a Liquid Crystal
Display. If the display is heated above 50°C (120°F) it may be damaged. This can happen if the
gauge is left in a car parked in strong sunlight.
Always store the gauge in its case when it is not being used. If an Elcometer 108 with a digital pressure
gauge is to remain unused for long periods of time, remove the batteries and store them separately. This
will prevent damage to the gauge in the event of malfunction of the batteries.
To protect the pin during storage or handling, leave a dolly connected to the gauge.
Refer to “Adhesive” on page 16 for storage temperature and shelf life of adhesive supplied with this gauge.
