5.3 Storage
Permissible conditions at the place of storage:
Storage temperature: -20 ... +60 °C
Avoid exposure to the following factors:
■ Direct sunlight or proximity to hot objects
■ Mechanical vibration, mechanical shock (putting it down hard)
■ Soot, vapour, dust and corrosive gases
■ Potentially explosive environments, flammable atmospheres
Store the instrument in its original packaging in a location that fulfils
the conditions listed above. If the original packaging is not available,
pack and store the thermometer as described below:
1. Wrap the thermometer in an antistatic plastic film.
2. Place the thermometer, along with shock-absorbent material, in the
packaging.
3. If stored for a prolonged period of time (more than 30 days), place a
bag containing a desiccant inside the packaging.
WARNING!
Before storing the instrument (following operation),
remove any residual media. This is of particular impor-
tance if the medium is hazardous to health, e.g. caustic,
toxic, carcinogenic, radioactive, etc.
The use of liquid damping is always recommended for
temperatures near the dew point (±1 °C around 0 °C).
