11.1 Dismounting
WARNING!
Physical injuries and damage to property and the
environment through residual media
Upon contact with hazardous media (e.g. oxygen, acetylene,
flammable or toxic substances), harmful media (e.g. corrosive,
toxic, carcinogenic, radioactive), and also with refrigeration
plants and compressors, there is a danger of physical injuries
and damage to property and the environment.
▶
Before storage of the dismounted instrument (following
use) wash or clean it, in order to protect persons and the
environment from exposure to residual media.
▶
Use the required protective equipment (depending on
the application; the thermometer itself is basically not
dangerous).
▶
Observe the information in the material safety data sheet
for the corresponding medium.
Only disconnect the resistance thermometer once the system has been
depressurised!
WARNING!
Risk of burns
During dismounting there is a risk of dangerously hot media
escaping.
▶
Let the instrument cool down sufficiently before
dismounting it!
11.2 Return
Strictly observe the following when shipping the instrument:
