Return

The following procedures must be carried out before a flowmeter requiring repair or calibration,
for example, is returned to Endress+Hauser:
• Always, enclose a fully completed "Declaration of contamination" form. Only then can
Endress+Hauser transport, examine and repair a returned device.
• Enclose special handling instructions if necessary, for example a safety data sheet as per
EN 91/155/EEC.
• Remove all fluid residues. Pay special attention to the grooves for seals and crevices which could
contain fluid residues. This is particularly important if the fluid is hazardous to health, e.g. flam-
mable, toxic, caustic, carcinogenic, etc.
Note!
A copy of the "Declaration of contamination" can be found at the end of these Operating
Instructions.
Warning!
• Do not return a measuring device if you are not absolutely certain that all traces of hazardous
substances have been removed, e.g. substances which have penetrated crevices or diffused
through plastic.
• Costs incurred for waste disposal and injury (caustic burns, etc.) due to inadequate cleaning will
be charged to the owner-operator.
