SECTION 3: RECEIVING, HANDLING, AND
STORAGE
Remote Power Racking units are subjected to complete factory
production tests and inspection before being packed. They are
shipped in containers designed to provide maximum protection to
the equipment during shipment and storage and at the same time to
provide convenient handling.
3.1 RECEIVING
Until the RPR-2 unit is ready to be delivered to the switchgear site
for usage, DO NOT remove it from the shipping container. If the
RPR-2 unit is to be placed in storage, maximum protection can be
obtained by keeping it in its container. A 120V power supply will be
needed for the UPS at this time.
Upon receipt of the equipment, inspect the containers for any signs
of damage or rough handling. Open the containers carefully to avoid
any damage to the contents. Use a nail puller rather than a crow bar
when required.
When opening the containers, be careful that any loose items or
hardware are not discarded with the packing material. Check the
contents of each package against the packing list.
Examine the RPR-2 unit for any signs of shipping damage such
as broken, missing or loose hardware, damaged or deformed
components. File claims immediately with the carrier if damage or
loss is detected and notify the nearest Eaton’s Electrical Service and
Systems Office.
After examining the unit place the RPR-2 in a location which has a
120V power supply for the UPS.
Figurt 3.1. Typical TNNls and AcctssNrits
shelter from sun, rain, snow, corrosive fumes, dust, dirt falling
objects, excessive moisture, etc. must be provided. If the building is
not heated, 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. 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.
3.2 HANDLING
The RPR-2 unit shipping containers are designed to be handled by
a fork lift truck. If containers must be skidded for any distance, it is
preferable to use roller conveyors or individual pipe rollers. When the
RPR-2 unit is ready for use, it can be rolled upright with the casters
or tilted back and rolled on the larger wheels.
3.3 STORAGE
If the RPR-2 unit is to be placed in storage, maximum protection
can be obtained by keeping it shielded with the provided cover
(Figure 3.3). Before placing it in storage, checks should be made to
make sure that the RPR-2 unit is free from shipping damage and is
in satisfactory operating condition. The RPR-2 unit is shipped with
the Transport Latch engaged (Figure 3.2). The RPR-2 unit requires
a 120V power supply for the UPS during storage and must remain
plugged in during this time.

be in a building with sufficient heat and circulation to prevent
condensation. The building must be well drained and a temporary
