2 INSTALLATION
2.1 Handling the Goods
Our products are of robust construction but require careful treatment before installation on site. This
section discusses the requirements for receiving and unpacking the goods, as well as associated
considerations regarding product care and personal safety.
Caution: Before lifting or moving the equipment you should be familiar with the Safety
Information chapter of this manual.
2.1.1 Receipt of the Goods
On receipt, ensure the correct product has been delivered. Unpack the product immediately to ensure
there has been no external damage in transit. If the product has been damaged, make a claim to the
transport contractor and notify us promptly.
For products not intended for immediate installation, repack them in their original delivery packaging.
2.1.2 Unpacking the Goods
When unpacking and installing the product, take care not to damage any of the parts and make sure
that additional components are not accidentally left in the packing or lost. Do not discard any
CDROMs or technical documentation. These should accompany the unit to its destination substation
and put in a dedicated place.
The site should be well lit to aid inspection, clean, dry and reasonably free from dust and excessive
vibration. This particularly applies where installation is being carried out at the same time as
construction work.
2.1.3 Storing the Goods
If the unit is not installed immediately, store it in a place free from dust and moisture in its original
packaging. Keep any de-humidifier bags included in the packing. The de-humidifier crystals lose their
efficiency if the bag is exposed to ambient conditions. Restore the crystals before replacing it in the
carton. Bags should be placed on flat racks and spaced to allow circulation around them. The time
taken for regeneration will depend on the size of the bag. If a ventilating, circulating oven is not
available, when using an ordinary oven, open the door on a regular basis to let out the steam given off
by the regenerating silica gel. On subsequent unpacking, make sure that any dust on the carton does
not fall inside. Avoid storing in locations of high humidity. In locations of high humidity, the packaging
may become impregnated with moisture and the de-humidifier crystals will lose their efficiency.
The device can be stored between –25º to +70ºC.
2.1.4 Dismantling the Goods
If you need to dismantle the device, always observe standard ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)
precautions.
The minimum precautions to be followed are as follows:
•
Use an antistatic wrist band earthed to a suitable earthing point.
•
Avoid touching the electronic components and PCBs.
