21.3 Checking the SF
6
 gas pressure
To exclude any gas losses during transportation in the gas compartments filled at the factory, 
check the gas pressure indicators on the panels.
➭ Check the gas pressure in the compartments pre-filled at the factory on the associated gas 
pressure indicators. The values must not drop below the temperature-dependent limit 
values.
➭ If the filling pressure is too low: Do not assemble the part of the switchgear concerned and 
inform the regional Siemens representative.
