7.1 Maintenance
These gas density monitors are maintenance-free.
The indication and switching function should be checked once or twice every year. For
this the instrument must be disconnected from the gas compartment to check with a
pressure testing device.
Repairs must only be carried out by the manufacturer.
The instruments must not be opened, since this can lead to indication and switch point
errors.
7.2 Cleaning

Physical injuries and damage to property and the environment
Improper cleaning may lead to physical injuries and damage to property

ment can result in a risk to persons, the environment and equipment.
