Keep the packaging as it will provide optimum protection during transport (e.g.
change in installation site, sending for repair).
5.3 Storage
Permissible conditions at the place of storage
Storage temperature: -40 ... +70 °C
In order to prevent damage, the following points should be noted for the
storage of the pressure gauges:
Leave the pressure gauges in their original packaging
■
Following any possible removal of the measuring instruments, e.g. for testing,
■
the instrument should again be stored in its original packaging
Avoid exposure to the following factors:
Direct sunlight or proximity to hot objects
