hoist to carry a product equipped with hanging holes.
1.5 Storage
Temporary Storage
Temporary storage of this product must meet the conditions listed in Table 1-5-1.
Table 1-5-1 Storage Environment
Item Specifications
Ambient Temperature -10° to +50°C
(+14° to +122°F) Condensation or freezing, as a result of sudden temperature
changes, must not occur.
Storage Temperature
-25° to +65°C
1
(-4° to +149°F)
Relative Humidity
5 to 95%
2
Atmosphere The standard product must not be exposed to dust, direct sunlight, corrosive
gas, flammable gas, oil mist, vapor, water drops, or vibration. The salt content
in the atmosphere should be minimized.
Note 1: The storage temperature applies only to short periods of time, such as during transport. Refer to comments on
extended storage guidelines.
Note 2: Since a large change in temperature within this humidity range may result in condensation or freezing, do not
store where such temperature changes may occur.
1. Do not place this product directly on the floor.
2. To store the product in an extreme environment, pack in vinyl sheeting, etc.
3. If the product is stored in a high-humidity environment, insert a drying agent (e.g., silica gel) and pack the product in
vinyl sheeting.
Long-term Storage
If the product is to be stored for an extended period of time after purchase, the method of storage depends primarily on
the storage location.
The general long-term storage method is as follows:
1. The above conditions for temporary storage must be satisfied.If the storage period exceeds three months, the upper
limit of ambient temperature must be reduced to 30
°
C (86
°
F) to prevent the deterioration of the electrolytic capaci-
tors.
2. Pack the product thoroughly to eliminate exposure to moisture and include a drying agent to ensure a relative
humidity of about 70% or less.
3. Do not leave the product mounted in a control panel and exposed to the elements like moisture or dust (particularly
on a construction site). In this case, remove the product and store in a suitable environment.
4. Electrolytic capacitors will deteriorate if not provided with power for an extended period of time. Do not store
electrolytic capacitors for one year or longer without providing power.
