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 sealing faces and the ingress of foreign matter to the measuring tube during trans-
portation and storage. Consequently, do not remove these covers or caps until imme-
diately before installation.
• Do not lift measuring devices of nominal diameters DN 40...50 by the transmitter hous-
ing or the connection housing in the case of the remote version (Fig. 3). Use webbing
slings slung round the two process connections (Fig. 3). 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 meas-
uring 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.
