7 Storage and transportation
If the AVS 470 Viscosity Measuring Unit has to be stored over some time, or to be dislocated, using the
original packing will be the best protection of the device. However, in many cases this packing will not be
available any more, so that one will have to compose an equivalent packaging system. Sealing the device in
a foil is recommended.
If viscometers are to be stored temporarily, or transported, all liquids contained in the system, especially
aggressive solutions, have to be drained.
8 Recycling and disposal
The present viscosity measuring unit and its packing material were mainly made from materials which can
be disposed of and recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.
Should you have any questions regarding disposal, please contact Schott Instruments.
Disposal of the memory backup batteries: The main printed board carries 2 lithium batteries. Batteries
should not be made part of the domestic waste. They will be taken back at no charge by the manufacturer
and forwarded to proper reuse or disposal.
