3.1 Incoming acceptance, transport and storage
3.1.1 Incoming acceptance
On receipt of the goods, check the following points:
• Check the packaging and the contents for damage.
• Check the shipment, make sure nothing is missing and that the scope of supply matches your
order.
3.1.2 Transport
The following instructions apply to unpacking and to transporting the device to its final location:
• Transport the devices in the containers in which they are delivered.
• The covers or caps fitted to the process connections prevent mechanical damage to the
transducers during transportation and storage. Consequently, do not remove these covers or caps
until immediately before installation.
• Do not lift measuring devices of nominal diameters > DN 40 (> 1½") by the transmitter housing
or the connection housing in the case of the remote version ( å 4). Use webbing slings slung
round the two process connections. Do not use chains, as they could damage the housing.

Warning!
Risk of injury if the measuring device slips. The center of gravity of the assembled measuring device
might be higher than the points around which the slings are slung.
At all times, therefore, make sure that the device does not unexpectedly turn around its axis or slip.

3.1.3 Storage
Note the following points:
• Pack the measuring device in such a way as to protect it reliably against impact for storage (and
transportation). The original packaging provides optimum protection.
• The permissible storage temperature is –40 to +80 °C (–40 °F to +176 °F).
Preferably +20 °C (+68 °F).
• Do not remove the protective covers or caps on the process connections until you are ready to
install the device.
• The measuring device must be protected against direct sunlight during storage in order to avoid
unacceptably high surface temperatures.
• Devices delivered with special sealing or bagging for oxygen service must remain sealed or bagged
until ready for installation.
