3.3 STORAGE
If the MV-VSR is to be placed in storage, maximum protection
can be obtained by keeping it in the original shipping crate. Before
placing it in storage, checks should be made to make sure that the
unit is free from shipping damage and is in satisfactory operating
condition.
The unit is shipped with its contacts open, the indicators on
the front panel should confirm this. Outdoor storage is NOT
recommended. If unavoidable, the outdoor location must be well
drained and a temporary shelter from sun, rain, snow, corrosive
fumes, dust, dirt, falling objects, excessive moisture, etc. must be
provided. Containers should be arranged to permit free circulation of
air on all sides and temporary heaters should be used to minimize
condensation. Moisture can cause rusting of metal parts and
deterioration of high voltage insulation. A heat level of approximately
400 watts for each 100 cubic feet of volume is recommended with
the heaters distributed uniformly throughout the structure near the
floor.
Indoor storage should be in a building with sufficient heat and
circulation to prevent condensation. If the building is not heated, the
same general rule for heat as for outdoor storage should be applied.
