4. Storage Instructions
The MPC VECTOR can be successfully stored for extended periods. The key to successful storage is dependent on
temperature and humidity control.
4.1 Short Term (0 - 12 months)
The MPC VECTOR should be stored in a temperature and humidity controlled environment. It is preferable to
keep the temperature constant in the range of -18

to 60

Celsius (0

to 140

Fahrenheit). The relative humidity
should be 0 to 90% non-condensing.
4.2 Long Term (12 months or more)
Storage of the MPC VECTOR for periods of longer than twelve months is not recommended. If extended storage
is unavoidable the MPC VECTOR should be stored in accordance with those conditions stipulated for Short Term
Storage. In addition, a porous bag of 85g (3 oz) silica gel or similar desiccant should be placed inside the
enclosure. The cover should be re-installed to seal the desiccant within the enclosure. The conduit connections
must be tightly capped.
Special note for long-term storage:
If AC input power has not been applied to the MPC VECTOR for a period greater than 12 months, the controller
must be prepared for operation. The MPC VECTOR should have AC power applied at the input for a period of 8
hours before placing pump into normal operation. Refer to Installation and Wiring section for AC power
connection instructions.
