Transporting flanged devices DN > 300 (12")
Use only the metal eyes on the flanges for transporting the device, lifting it and positioning
the sensor in the piping.
Caution!
Do not attempt to lift the sensor with the tines of a fork-lift truck beneath the metal casing.
This would buckle the casing and damage the internal magnetic coils.

3.1.3 Storage
Note the following points:
• Pack the measuring device in such a way as to protect it reliably against impact for storage
(and transportation). The original packaging provides optimum protection.
• The storage temperature corresponds to the operating temperature range of the
measuring transmitter and the appropriate measuring sensors →  108.
• The measuring device must be protected against direct sunlight during storage in order to
avoid unacceptably high surface temperatures.
• Choose a storage location where moisture does not collect in the measuring device. This
will help prevent fungus and bacteria infestation which can damage the lining.
• Do not remove the protection plates or caps on the process connections until you are ready
to install the device. This is particularly important in the case of sensors with PTFE linings.
