2.3 Storage
•Store the device in a dry, dust-free location.
•Avoid continuous direct sunlight.
•Store the device in its original packing.
•Storage temperature: -40...+70°C / -40...+158°F
2.4 Transport
Signal converter
•No special requirements.
Compact version
•Do not lift the device by the signal converter housing.
•Do not use lifting chains.
•To transport flange devices, use lifting straps. Wrap these around both process connections.
2.5 Installation specifications
INFORMATION!
The following precautions must be taken to ensure reliable installation.
• Make sure that there is adequate space to the sides.
• Protect the signal converter from direct sunlight and install a sun shade if necessary.
• Signal converters installed in control cabinets require adequate cooling, e.g. by fan or heat
exchanger.
• Do not expose the signal converter to intense vibration. The flowmeters are tested for a
vibration level in accordance with IEC 68-2-64.
