4.1 Transport

Check the compression force transducer for any damage that may have been caused by
transport. Obvious damage must be reported immediately.

CAUTION!
Damage through improper transport
With improper transport, a high level of damage to property can occur.

As precision measuring instruments, transducers require careful handling during
transport and mounting. Load impacts during transport (e.g. hitting a hard surface) can
lead to permanent damage, resulting in measured errors in the subsequent measuring
operation.

4.2 Packaging and storage

Do not remove packaging until just before mounting.
Keep the packaging as it will provide optimum protection during transport (e.g. change
in installation site, sending for repair).
Permissible conditions at the place of storage:
Storage temperature: -20 ... +80 °C [-4 ... +176 °F]
■
Humidity: 35 ... 85 % relative humidity (non-condensing)
■
Avoid exposure to the following factors:
Mechanical vibration, mechanical shock (putting it down hard)
■
Dust, dirt, and other objects may not be deposited in such a way that they form a
■
force shunt with the measuring spring, since this will falsify the measuring signal.

When unloading packed goods upon delivery as well as during internal
transport, proceed carefully and observe the symbols on the packaging.
With internal transport, observe the instructions in chapter 4.2
"Packaging and storage".
