5 Storage, transport, packaging disposal
5.1 Storage and transportation conditions
Observe the following notes for storage:
• Store in the original packaging to ensure protection from shock.
• Do not remove protective covers or protective caps installed on process connections. They prevent
mechanical damage to the sealing surfaces and fouling in the measuring tube.
• Protect from direct sunlight to avoid unacceptably high surface temperatures.
•
Storage temperature: –40 to +80 °C (–40 to +176 °F), preferable for +20 °C (+68 °F)
• Store in a dry and dust-free place.
• Do not store outdoors.

Observe the following notes during transport:
• Transport the measuring device to the measuring point in the original packaging.
• Lifting gear
– Webbing slings: Do not use chains, as they could damage the housing.
– For wood crates, the floor structure enables these to be loaded lengthwise or broadside using a
forklift.
•
For measuring device > DN 40 ( 1½ in): lift the measuring device using the webbing slings at the
process connections; do not lift at the transmitter housing.
• Do not remove protective covers or protective caps installed on process connections. They prevent
mechanical damage to the sealing surfaces and fouling in the measuring tube.
