Decommissioning, storage and transport
10.1 Decommissioning
When a DGM must be disposed of, the components must be sent to an appropriate authority for
recycling; alternatively, the entire unit can be returned to Haffmans B.V. The following is a list of the
important elements contained in the main components:
PCB housing
-
Measuring chamber : Perspex
-
Plunger unit
-
Battery unit
-
10.2 Storage
The instrument must be stored in a dry location and protected from mechanical and/or chemical
damage. If the DGM is not going to be used for a long time, the instrument must first be thoroughly
rinsed with water. The instrument must then be emptied, thoroughly flushed with air and dried.
10.3 Transport
When the DGM is transported, the display and the Perspex components must be protected
against knocks. We recommend saving the packaging materials provided by Haffmans BV and
using them whenever the DGM is transported.
