Storage and Shipping
Removing Internal Water before Shipping or Storage
Before long-term storage or shipping it is recommended that all-internal water be
removed from the instrument. After manufacture and testing, internal water is
removed by connecting the FLUID OUT ports to a (medical) suction pump for 2
minutes in the unit “OFF” condition. Users may wish to employ this method, which
will not harm the unit.
Do not use compressed air to clear out internal water since pressures greater than 310
kPa (45 psi) may damage the pressure transducer.
Storage and Packing
Remove as much internal water as possible (as described above).
Store away from sunlight.
Protect from frost (internal water may freeze and expand)
Protect from vibration and shock
The unit is a delicate electronic measuring instrument and as such should be cared for
in the appropriate manner.
The unit should not be opened unless there is a facility to confirm the function and
calibration of the unit afterwards.
There are certain types of keyboard that under ESD conditions can cease to function.
Disconnecting the keyboard and reconnecting usually restores normal keyboard
function. It is recommended a CE marked keyboard is used.
