1.1 Unpacking, Repacking and Storing
Unpacking a Device
NOTE
i
i
Devices are tested prior to delivery. The test certificate is a component of the devices and can be called up
with DIGSI.
Devices are packed on site in a way that meets the requirements of standard ISO 2248.
Check the packing for external transport damage. Damaged packing may indicate that the devices inside
²
have also sustained damage.
Unpack devices carefully; do not use force.
²
Visually check the devices to ensure they are in perfect mechanical condition.
²
Check the enclosed accessories against the delivery note to make sure 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
²
packaging that meets the requirements of standard ISO 2248.
Repacking a Device
If you store devices after incoming inspection, they must be packed in appropriate 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.
²
Storing a Device
Only store devices on which you have carried out an incoming inspection, thus ensuring that the
²
warranty remains valid. The incoming inspection is described in the Operating manual.
SIPROTEC devices must be stored in rooms, which are clean and dry. Devices or associated replacement
²
modules must be stored at a temperature of -25 °C to +55 °C.
The relative humidity must be at a level where condensate and ice are prevented from forming.
²
Siemens recommends that you observe a restricted storage temperature range of +10°C to +35°C, in
²
order to prevent the electrolytic capacitors used in the power supply from aging prematurely.
If the device has been in storage for more than 2 years, connect it to an auxiliary voltage for 1 to 2 days.
²
This will cause the electrolytic capacitors to form on the printed circuit-board assemblies again.
If devices are to be shipped elsewhere, you can reuse the transport packaging. When using different
²
packaging, you must ensure that the transport requirements according to ISO 2248 are met. Storage
packing of the individual devices is not adequate for transport purposes.
The lithium batteries contained in SIPROTEC devices meet all international requirements of the hazardous
²
goods specifications for the various carriers (Special Provision 188 of the UN Recommendations on the
Transport of Dangerous Goods, Special Provision A45 of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, and the
ICAO Technical Instructions). This only applies to the original battery or genuine replacement batteries.
