PQC removal
The PQC is held in place against the rear of the cabinet front wall by four retaining
lugs in the corners of the instrument. These can be released by undoing the retaining
screws.
1. Turn all four screws anticlockwise with a screwdriver. This slackens the four
retaining lugs and swivels them to lie flush behind the PQC front panel.
2. Withdraw the PQC from the front of the cabinet.
10.3
Storage
– The PQC must be stored in a clean, dry and dust-free location.
– The storage temperature must be within the range -20 °C to +80 °C.
10.4
Disposal
Any electronic instrument that is no longer required must be disposed of in an envi-
ronmentally sound manner.
ATTENTION!
Risk to equipment!
Incorrect disposal can cause environmental pollution.
– Dispose of the instrument in compliance with the regulations of the
country concerned.
In the European Union, electrical scrap and electronic components are
subject to the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Direc-
tive. These components must not be disposed of as normal domestic or
commercial waste. In other countries, the equivalent local regulations must
be followed when electronic instruments are disposed of. They must be
handed in at special recycling centres.
One way of ensuring environmentally sound disposal is to return the instru-
ments to FRAKO Kondensatoren- und Anlagenbau GmbH in Teningen,
Germany, or the company‘s local representatives. Alternatively, the instru-
ments can be given to a firm specializing in the recycling of electronic
equipment.
