RECEIVING AND INSTALLATION
1.1
RECEIVING
This equipment was assembled, tested and packed with care to enable the purchaser to install and place it in
operation with a minimum of time and labor. Immediately upon receiving the equipment, it should be checked
against the memorandum of shipment.
1.2
IDENTIFICATION
All UNIPOWER’ Model ARE power supplies are equipped with a full identification nameplate. When requesting
information, or ordering spare parts, please specify the Model No., Serial No., and Spec. No. of the charger. This
information will speed your request.
1.3
UNPACKING AND HANDLING
The power supply is shipped attached to a wooden skid. This facilitates handling with a lift truck by inserting the
forks under the bottom of the skid. The smallest units are packed inside the carton that is banded to the skid. The
larger units are bolted to the skid and covered by the shipping carton that is banded to the skid. To unpack, cut
the bands (
Caution: Do not stand in front of steel bands since they may whip out when cut
) and remove
carton from the skid. Next, either remove the unit from the carton or unbolt the unit from the skid.
Check shipping carton, before discarding, for the packing slip and other material, which may be contained in it.
Carefully inspect the unit for loosened connections or mountings, dislodged circuit boards, etc., which can occur
during shipping. Report any findings to our nearest sales office.

If you are not going to use the equipment immediately, store it (fully packed, if possible) in a clean dry place and
protect it from possible damage or overhead drip.
All ARE Series power supplies can be safely stored for up to one year at temperatures ranging from –40 C to +85
