Simrad ES60
A suitable piece of insulating material can be placed between the
battery and the electrical contacts to prevent electrical discharge.
The battery can then remain in the unit, reducing the risk of it
being misplaced during the storage period.
Caution
Units containing lithium or alkaline batteries must be
handled separately and with care. Such units are
marked accordingly. Do not attempt to recharge such
batteries, open them or dispose of them by incineration.
Refer to the applicable product data sheets.
Dehumidifier
Place a suitably sized bag of desiccant material (silica gel or
similar) into the unit to keep the electronic components as dry
as possible.
Coatings
Spray the unit externally with a corrosion inhibitor (e.g. a light
oil) before packing.
Re-packaging
Whenever possible, the unit must be stored and transported in
its original packing material and/or crate. In the event that this
material is not available, proceed as follows:
• Small units must be protected from damp by being placed
within a plastic bag at least 0.15 mm thick. An appropriate
quantity of desiccant material should be placed inside this bag,
and the bag sealed. The sealed unit must then be placed in an
appropriate carton or crate, and supported in the container
by appropriate shock-absorbing insulation (polystyrene foam
chips etc.).
• Large units must be placed in a suitable cardboard box or
wooden crate. The unit must be protected against physical
damage by means of shock-absorbing insulation mats. The
box must be clearly marked with its contents, and must be
stored in a dry and dust-free area.
Circuit board packaging
Circuit boards are delicate items. They may work year after year
in an advanced product, but then fail due to a small spark of
static electricity. For this reason, it is very important that they are
properly handled and protected during shipping.
