2.1.Unpacking
When moving the transmitter to the installation site transfer it in its original
packaging. Only unpack the transmitter on site of installation to avoid damage
during transit.
2.2.Models and Specifications Check
The model name and specifications are indicated on the top nameplate fixed
to the transmitters. Please check your specification and model supplied for
your installation. Please ensure LRL (Lower Range Value) / URL (Upper
Range Value), min/max span specifications and MWP (Max. Working Pressure)
of sensor range codes are in line with your application requirements.
2.3.Storage
The following precautions must be observed when storing the instrument,
especially for long periods.
(1)Select a storage area that meets the following conditions:
a)It is not directly exposed to rain, water, snow or sun light.
b)It is exposed to minimum vibration and shock.
c)If possible, it is advisable to store at normal temperature and
humidity (approx. 70°F, 65% RH). However, it can also be
stored under ambient temperature and relative humidity within
the following published ranges.
Ambient Temperature:-40 ~ 85°C (without LCD) * or-
30 ~ 80°C (with module)*
* General use only. For explosion proof versions follow
product certification reqmts.
Relative Humidity: 5% ~ 98% RH (at 40°C)
(2)When storing the transmitter, repack with original (or similar)
packaging that was shipped from the factory.
(3)If storing a transmitter that has already been used, thoroughly clean
all wetted parts including diaphragm seals (if installed), process
connections/manifolds in contact with process fluid. In addition, make
sure before storing the transmitter that remote seal (if supplied)
assemblies are securely mounted.
2.4.Selecting a Suitable Location for Installation
The transmitter is designed to withstand severe environmental conditions.
However, to ensure stable and accurate operation for extended years, the
following precautions must be observed when selecting an installation location.
(1)Ambient Temperature:
Avoid locations subject to wide temperature variations or a significant
temperature gradient. If the location is exposed to radiant heat from
plant equipment, provide adequate insulation or ventilation.
(2)Ambient Atmosphere
Avoid installing the transmitter in a corrosive atmosphere. If the
transmitter must be installed in a corrosive atmosphere, there must be
adequate ventilation as well as preventive measures to minimize
intrusion or stagnation of rainwater or condensation build up through
its electrical conduits. Moreover, there should be appropriate
precautions taken to prevent corrosion build up due to condensation or
moisture collected within conduits and terminal boxes over extended
