Transport, Package and Storage
Unpacking the Device
i
i
NOTE
Devices are tested prior to delivery. The verification certificate is part of the device and can be called up
with the product.
Devices are packed on site in a way that meets the requirements.
²
Check the packing for external transport damage. Damaged packing may indicate that the devices
inside have also a damage.
²
Unpack devices carefully; do not use force.
²
Visually check the devices to ensure that they are in perfect mechanical condition.
²
Check the enclosed accessories against the delivery note to make sure that everything is complete.
²
Keep the packing in case the devices must be stored or transported elsewhere.
²
Return damaged devices to the manufacturer, stating the defect. Use the original packaging or transport
packaging that meets the requirements.
Repacking the Device
²
If you store devices after incoming inspection, pack them in suitable storage packaging.
²
If devices are to be transported, pack them in transport packing.
²
Put the accessories supplied and the test certificate in the packing with the device.
Storing the Device
²
Only store devices on which you have carried out an incoming inspection, thus ensuring that the
warranty remains valid. The incoming inspection is described in Chapter Incoming Inspection.
²
The device must be stored in rooms, which are clean, dry, and dust-free. Devices or associated spare
parts must be stored at a temperature between –40° C and +70° C.
²
Siemens recommends that you observe a restricted storage temperature range of +10° C to +35° C in
order to prevent the electrolytic capacitors used in the power supply from aging prematurely.
²
If the device shall be stored for a long time, connect it every 2 years to an auxiliary voltage for 1 to 2
days. This will cause the electrolytic capacitors to form on the printed circuit board assemblies again.
²
If devices must be shipped elsewhere, you can reuse their transport packaging. If using other packaging,
ensure that the transport requirements are met.
