7 Dismounting
7.1 Dismounting steps
Warning:
Before dismounting, be aware of dangerous process conditions such
as e.g. pressure in the vessel or pipeline, high temperatures, cor-
rosive or toxic products etc.
Take note of chapters "Mounting" and "Connecting to power supply"
and carry out the listed steps in reverse order.
7.2 Disposal
The instrument consists of materials which can be recycled by spe-
cialised recycling companies. We use recyclable materials and have
designed the electronics to be easily separable.
Materials: see chapter "Technical data"
For disposal or recycling within the European Union proceed accord-
ing to the "Electronics recycling" and "Battery/Accumulator recycling"
below. Outside the European Union you should take note of the valid
national regulations.
Electronics recycling
This instrument is not subject to the WEEE directive 2002/96/EG and
the respective national laws. Therefore pass the instrument directly
on to a specialised recycling company and do not use the municipal
collecting points. These may be used only for privately used products
according to the WEEE directive.
Battery/accumulator recycling
Note:
The disposal is subject to the directive 2006/66/EG on batteries and
accumulators.
Batteries and accumulators contain some environmentally harm-
ful but also some valuable raw materials that can be recycled. For
that reason batteries and accumulators must not be disposed of in
household waste.
All users are legally obligated to bring batteries to a suitable collection
point, e.g. public collection points. You can also return the batteries
and accumulators to us for correct disposal. Due to the very strict
transport regulations for lithium-based batteries/accumulators, this is
normally not a good idea because shipment is very expensive.
Proceed as follows to dismount the accumulator:
•
Unscrew the cover of the supply room
•
Loosen the plug connector
•
Loosen the fixing screws
•
Pull out the complete insert by means of the plastic strap
Correct disposal avoids negative effects on humans and the environ-
ment and ensures recycling of useful raw materials.
