3. Handling, Installation and Outside Dimensions
3.1 General information
3.1.1 Upkeep of the relay
As a rule protection relays are of robust construction and the WIC1 in particular allows operation under extreme
environmental conditions. But despite these facts, the WIC1 should be handled with the necessary care during in-
stallation and commissioning. Immediately after receipt of the relay it should be checked for possible damage in-
flicted during transportation. Any transport damage has to be notified to the transport firm handling the consign-
ment.
Those relays which are not installed immediately should be stored in their original package (styrofoam).
3.1.2 Storage
If the relay is not used directly it has to be stored in its original packing. Permissible temperatures during storing are
-40°C up to +85°C. The storage place should be dry.
3.1.3 Electrostatic discharge
The electronic components used in the relay react very sensitive to electrostatic discharge but they are absolute
safely placed inside the plastic housing. Additionally all electronic components are well protected by means of cast-
ing. Hence it is practical impossible that components are damaged by ESD.
There are no setting or calibrating appliances inside the housing, which would call for opening the device by the
user. The housing is hermetically sealed and cannot be opened without causing damage.
3.2 Installation of the relay
By using the three 7mm ø drill holes, the relay is directly mounted onto the mounting plate. Detailed drawing with
all measurements can be found in the Appendix.
