temperature range from -30 °C (140°F) to +60 °C (-22
°F), it is advisable to stock it in a dry place at room
temperature.
Lifetime
Lifetime is set by the date of production and is
theoretically unlimited. Service time starts with the date
of first use and depends on frequency and mode of
application, on environment where it is used (e.g.
marine,
cave,
corrosive
atmosphere),
and
on
mechanical wear and damage. It is therefore very
difficult to determine the expected service time of a
particular device. Its due retirement is therefore left to
user's regular examinations and competent person's
annual inspections.
