8 Decommission
 All sensors must be dismantled professionally.
 Do not strike sensor housings with tools.
 Do not apply bending moments on the sensor, e.g. through levers.
 The torque sensor must be supported to avoid falling down during the dismantling.
9 Transportation and Storage
The transportation of the sensors must occur in suitable packing.
For smaller sensors, stable cartons which are well padded are sufficient (e.g., air cushion film, epoxy
crisps, paper shavings). The sensor should be tidily packed into film.
Larger sensors should be packed in cases.
9.1 Transportation
Only release well packed sensors for transportation. The sensor should not be able to move back and
forth in the packing. The sensors must be protected from moisture.
Only use suitable means of transportation.
