Transport and storage
The sensor and gateway packaging does not protect the items
against damage during transport.
If the sensors are handled incorrectly there can be a risk of leaks or
the emission of evaporated electrolyte that can cause a fire or
explosion and lead to serious injuries or death.
The sensors contain non-replaceable lithium thionyl chloride batter-
ies, which are not dangerous provided they remain in the sensor
housing. Avoid temperatures of more than +100 °C! Never open the
sensor housing. Make sure that the sensors are not damaged during
transport and storage. Store the sensors in the original packaging
until use.
The sensors are classified as dangerous goods during transport
due to the non-replaceable lithium thionyl chloride batteries they
contain. They must be transported in accordance with the statutory
provisions. Defective sensors must not be sent by air freight.
Sensors must be deactivated during transport and storage,
see page 31.
The electronics and plastic components of the gateway and sensors
can be damaged or destroyed by strong vibrations, so avoid
dropping them and severe impacts.
The storage life of the battery-powered sensors is 10 years.
Store the sensors at a temperature of +0 °C to +30 °C, to protect
the non-replaceable batteries they contain.
