5.1
Storage and transport
For storage and transport purposes, package the unit using shockproof packaging material
and protect it against moisture. The best method of protection is to package the unit using the
original packaging. Furthermore, ensure that the ambient conditions are within allowable range.
5.2
Unpacking
Check the product for damage while unpacking. In the event of damage to the product, inform
the post office or parcel service and notify the supplier.
Check the package contents with your purchase order and the shipping documents for:
■
Delivery quantity
■
Device type and version in accordance with the type plate
■
Accessories
■
Quick start guide
Retain the original packaging in case you have to store or ship the device again at a later date.
Should you have any questions, please contact Fuchs.

EMC concept
The outstanding noise immunity of the IDENTControl against emission and immission is based
on its consistent shielding design, which uses the principle of the Faraday cage. Interference is
caught in the shield and safely diverted via the ground connections.
The cable shielding is used to discharge electromagnetic interference. When shielding a cable,
you must connect both sides of the shield to ground with low resistance and low inductance.
The metal enclosure of the IDENTControl and the metal enclosure of the R/W heads complete
the consistent shielding concept.
The most important issue here is that the shields are connected to ground with low resistance
and low inductance. The metal enclosure ensures that the shielding is not interrupted, i.e. the
complete electronics system and all routed cables are located within a Faraday cage.

Note!
If cables with double shields are used, e.g. wire mesh and metalized foil, the both shields must
be connected together, with low resistance, at the ends when making up the cable.
Power supply cables are the source of much interference, e.g. from the supply lines of 3-phase
electric motors. For this reason, the parallel laying of power supply cables with data and signal
cables should be avoided, particularly in the same cable duct.
