Installation
2. Equipment designed for outdoor exposure
may be stored either in indoor or outdoor
storage locations. The equipment must
be protected from airborne external
contaminates if stored outdoors. Outdoor
storage will also require additional care
to maintain temporary covers over
the openings and shipping splits. The
equipment must be provided with control
power to facilitate the energization of
space heaters, as well as other temperature
and humidity controlling equipment. The
temperature should be kept above freezing
(>33°F/1°C) and below (<140°F/60°C). The
relative humidity should be kept below
60% or a dew point of 15°C/59°F. The
equipment should be stored in such a
manner as to leave all doors and panels
accessible for inspection. The equipment
must be inspected on a routine basis to
assure its integrity.
3. The auxiliary control devices, ship loose
material and protective relays must also
be protected. This includes items such as
battery chargers, UPS systems, lighting,
installation hardware and air conditioning.
If prolonged storage is anticipated,
humidity controlling desiccant materials
should be utilized. Desiccant packets
should be installed in all compartments and
packing containers.

FlexTrol
™
should be lifted, positioned,
and handled by suitable lifting devices of
adequate load ratings. A maximum of 3 units
can be lifted together. During handling, the
rigging lengths of lifting equipment, such as
slings or cables, should be set or adjusted to
compensate any unequal load distribution to
maintain the equipment in an upright position.
Refer to the job drawings for the specific lifting
weight specifications.
It is preferable to handle FlexTrol
™
with
overhead cranes, by the lifting means
provided
. If bases are furnished,
the equipment may be moved on an even
surface by the use of rollers or heavy duty pipe
under the base. Any force to move or jack the
equipment must be applied to the base and
not the equipment.

Recommended Method for
Lifting an Indoor Lineup
The use of fork lift trucks is not recommended,
since the forks may damage the enclosure or
interior parts of the equipment. If no other
method of handling is available, the forks must
go under the base bottom to avoid damage to
the equipment.
Each controller is properly adjusted at the
factory before shipment. However, vibration
and mechanical stresses imposed by transit and
installation can adversely affect mechanical
interlocks and other adjustments; therefore, a
final inspection is essential before energizing.
If this inspection reveals any portion of the
controller has come out of adjustment, the
controller should be readjusted according to
information in this instruction book or by a
qualified service engineer.
