6.4 Conservation measures, correct storage and transport
This Section describes how to prepare the GM32 for storage for later use or transport.
Clean the outside of the closed SR-unit housing and all other components with damp
cleaning cloths. Pay special attention to removing chemical residues or condensate
deposits. A mild cleaning agent that does not leave any residues can be used here.
Select a dry, frost-free room without strong temperature fluctuations for storage.
If the original packaging is available or in all cases where the SR-unit and measuring probe
are to be stored or transported separately:
Separate the measuring probe from the SR-unit (
p. 83, Fig. 19):
Push the sealing ring to one side so that the measuring probe can be removed with-
out hindrance after the screw fitting has been loosened.
Loosen the three nuts with a 19 mm wrench and carefully remove the measuring
probe without damaging the threaded bolts on the SR-unit.
Keep all the fastening parts with care.
To prevent absorbed moisture damaging the SR-unit, check and replace the desiccant
cartridges when necessary:
Check the desiccant cartridges. As preparation for the storage period, the cartridges
should then also be exchanged when the drying granulate is only slightly discolored
when compared with new cartridges.
Protect the openings on the SR-unit and measuring probe against atmospheric condi-
tions. In this case, use the transport safety devices, as far as available, used during
delivery of these components. Apart from that, materials such as weatherproof
adhesive tape and plastic foils are also suitable.
If the measuring probe and SR-unit remain connected, the front cover of the SR-unit
and the plastic protective cap on the measuring probe flange are not required. If a GPP
measuring probe is used and is to remain fitted, no transport safety devices are
required because GPP measuring probes do not have an open measuring gap.
