1. Equipment designed for indoor installation
must be stored indoors in a climate
controlled environment to prevent
condensation of moisture. Exposure to rain
and the elements, even for a short period,
can permanently damage the equipment.
Space heaters within the equipment should
be energized, if so equipped. Humidity
controlling desiccant materials should
be utilized when space heaters are not
provided or cannot be energized. The
temperature should be kept above 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
operational integrity.
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.

In order to check the basic electrical operation
of the ground and test device, the device must
be placed near a circuit breaker test cabinet.
1) Test the Closing Operation of the Ground and
Test Device
Perform the following to test the closing
operation of the ground and test device:
a. Verify that the Control Selector Switch
on the front of the ground and test
device is in the “Off” (center) position
(Figure 16).
b. Connect the umbilical cord of the
remote control box to the ground and
test device (Figure 17). Ensure the cord
is locked into the connected position by
turning the plug clockwise.
c. Move to control selector switch from
“OFF” position to “Close” position
(Figure 18).
d. From a safe distance, connect the
ground and test device remote control
box to a 120VAC, 15 ampere power
supply.
e. Depress the “Close” push button switch
on the control box (Figure 19) to close
the ground and test device ground
making switch.
f. Unplug the remote control box from the
120V power supply.
g. Move the control selector switch from
the “Close” position to the “Off” position.
