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 duly 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
Regulation EC No. 1907/2006 REACH.
• Remove all residues. Pay special attention to the grooves for seals and crevices which could
contain residues. This is particularly important if the substance is hazardous to health, e.g.
flammable, toxic, caustic, carcinogenic, etc.
With Promass A and Promass M the threaded process connections must first be removed from the
sensor and then cleaned.
Note!
You will find a preprinted "Declaration of contamination" form at the back of this manual.
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 (burns, etc.) due to inadequate cleaning will be
charged to the owner-operator.
