RECEPTION, HANDLING, INSTALLATION
1.1. Unpacking
Relays must only be handled by qualified personnel and special care must be taken to protect all
of their parts from any damage while they are being unpacked and installed.
The use of good illumination is recommended to facilitate the equipment visual inspection.
The facility must be clean and dry and relays should not be stored in places that are exposed to
dust or humidity. Special care must be taken if construction work is taking place.
1.2. Reception of relays
It is necessary to inspect the equipment at the time it is delivered to ensure that the relays have
not been damaged during transport.
If any defect is found, the transport company and FANOX should be informed immediately.
If the relays are not for immediate use, they should be returned to their original packaging.
1.3. Handling electronic equipment
Relays contain an electronic component that is sensitive to electrostatic discharges.
Just by moving, a person can build up an electrostatic potential of several thousand volts.
Discharging this energy into electronic components can cause serious damage to electronic
circuits. It is possible that this damage may not be detected straight away, but the electronic
circuit eliability and life will be reduced. This electronic component in the equipment is well
protected by the metal housing, which should not be removed as the equipment cannot be
adjusted internally.
If it is necessary to disassemble the electronic component, this must be carried out with care and
contact with electronic components, printed circuits and connections must be avoided to prevent
an electrostatic discharge that could damage one of the components. If the electronic
components are stored outside the metal housing, they must be placed in an antistatic
conductive bag.
If it is necessary to open a module, care must be taken to preserve the equipment reliability and
the duration of the life cycle as designed by the manufacturer by taking the following actions:
•
Touch the housing to ensure that you have the same potential
•
Avoid touching the electronic components and handle the module by its edges.
•
Remember that everyone who handles the module must have the same potential.
•
Use a conductive bag to transport the module.
For more information about how to handle electronic circuits, consult official documents such as
the IEC 147-OF.
