The ER-420 does not require special maintenance unless it is used in low-temperature applications or surroundings with high
humidity (above 90% annual mean) It is the users responsibility to take all precautions to dehumidify the internal atmosphere
of the ER-420 in such a way that no condensation will occur, for example by placing dry silica-gel sachet in the casing just
before closing it Furthermore, it is required to replace or dry the silica gel periodically as advised by the silica gel supplier
Check periodically:
• The condition of the casing, cable glands and front panel
• The input/output wiring for reliability and aging symptoms
• The process accuracy As a result of wear and tear, re-calibration of the flowmeter might be necessary Remember to
re-enter any subsequent K-factor alterations
• The indication for low-battery
• Clean the casing with soapy water Do not use any aggressive solvents as these might damage the polyester coating
