12. Dismounting, return and disposal
WARNING!
Residual media in dismounted instruments can result in a risk to persons, the
environment and equipment. Take sufficient precautionary measures.
12.1 Dismounting
WARNING!
Risk of burns!
Let the instrument cool down sufficiently before dismounting it! When dismounting it,
there is a risk that dangerously hot pressure media may escape.
Connections must only be opened when the instrument is depressurised and has cooled down.
The thermometer or the measuring insert can be removed from the thermowell. The thermowell
itself should only be removed from the process once it is in a depressurised state. For
thermometers without thermowell, the system must have been depressurised, cooled down and
be free of hazardous materials.
12.2 Returns
WARNING!
Absolutely observe when shipping the instrument:
All instruments delivered to WIKA must be free from any kind of hazardous
substances (acids, bases, solutions, etc.)
To return the instrument, use the original packaging or a suitable transport package.
To avoid damage:
1. Wrap the instrument in an antistatic plastic film.
2. Place the instrument, along with the shock-absorbing material, in the packaging.
Place shock-absorbent material evenly on all sides of the shipping box.
3. If possible, place a bag, containing a desiccant, inside the packaging.
4. Label the shipment as transport of a highly sensitive measuring instrument.
Information on returns can be found under the heading “Service” on our local website.
12.3 Disposal
Incorrect disposal may endanger the environment.
Dispose of instrument components and packaging materials in an environmentally compatible
way and in accordance with the country-specific waste disposal regulations.
