Shipping
■ If the meter is shipped or transported over long dis-
tances, always remove the battery pack from the
meter. This eliminates the possibility of the battery
pack overheating due to a short-circuit in the
meter. It also prevents deep discharge and other
damage to the battery pack or meter.
■ Only ship undamaged battery packs. Damaged bat-
tery packs must be disposed of locally. See page 19
for the risks associated with damaged battery
packs and disposal information.
■ Package the battery pack for shipping so that it
cannot move around in the packaging. Also
observe any other applicable national regulations.
■ When shipping via third parties (e.g., by air or
parcel service), work with the carrier to check
whether specific requirements need to be met in
relation to the lithium-ion battery packs on the
basis of national or international laws on hazardous
goods and, where applicable, if special packaging
and labeling requirements apply.
Observe the following safety information when shipping
the meter and battery pack. Failure to do so may result in
injury to persons or damage to the meter or battery pack.
For short distances - example between a facility’s sites
- users may transport the battery packs (either installed
in the meter or separately) by road without having to
meet further requirements.
