RECEIVING AND STORAGE
All AuCom panels are individually packed and securely braced for shipment. Depending on the size and weight, it
may be necessary to ship the equipment in several sections to facilitate handling.
Panels may include relatively delicate equipment. Handle all sections with care when unloading. Some electrical
components may be shipped separately and then installed on-site. The shipping inventory should account for all
individual components.
5.1
Receiving
Inspect equipment as soon as possible for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Before accepting
delivery, examine packaging for any signs of damage. A damaged package may indicate that the panel and internal
components may also be damaged.
Check that the shipping manifest accounts for all equipment delivered. Any missing or damaged equipment should
be noted on the freight bill and the carrier notified immediately. A record of the missing or damaged equipment
should also be sent to AuCom.
NOTE
Avoid using heavy or sharp-edged tools while unpacking, as these may damage the equipment. Use nail
pliers to separate all four sides of the wooden packaging box.
5.2
Storage
If immediate installation is not possible, the equipment should be stored in its original packaging in a clean and dry
area indoors. Always store panels upright on their wooden pallets to keep them off the floor and allow air to pass
under it freely.
NOTE
Equipment can be stored for a maximum of 12 months from the date of packaging as the quality of the
packaging material degrades over time.
The following storage conditions should be met (IEC 60721-3-1, classification 1K3):
Temperature
-5 °C ~ 40 °C
Relative humidity
50 ~ 95%
Rate of change of temperature
0.5 °C/min
The following general precautions should be followed when storing equipment indoors:
Do not unpack the panel or other components until they are ready for installation.
If electrical components such as circuit breakers are to be stored for more than three months in humid
conditions, space heaters should be used in the storage area to limit condensation. Switchgear panels with
in-built anti-condensation heaters may be powered from an external supply during storage.
Rats and other vermin may cause considerable damage and periodic inspection is necessary to minimise
the danger they pose.
Ensure the floor of the storage area is smooth and level to prevent mechanical strain to the structure and
components.
