2 PACKAGING, STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE
2.1 Packaging
The packaging of AT SWITCH actuators is comprised of a dual-layer
cardboard box strapped on a pallet. For certain non-EU countries or
on request, the pallets are heat treated to standard NIMP 15 and
IPPC stamped.
This packaging is identical for shipping by road, air or sea, unless
otherwise indicated in the contract.
2.2 Storage
Actuators should be stored under a shelter, in a clean and dry place,
and protected from wide temperature variations.

• Avoid placing the actuator directly on the floor.
•
Check that the plugs on cable entries are correctly tightened.
•
Check that the cover screws are correctly tightened to ensure
weatherproof sealing of the cover.
AT SWITCH actuators include electrical components and lubricated
gear stages. Even with a weatherproof enclosure, oxidation, galling
and other alterations may occur if actuators are not correctly stored.
What to check after storage
1. Visually check the electrical equipment.
2. Manually operate micro switches, buttons, selectors, etc., to
ensure their proper mechanical function.
3. Manually operate the actuator for a few travels.
 The heating resistance should be connected to the power supply,
especially if the storage place is humid.
