3.2 Transportation and storage
Note
Notes regarding transportation
• The devices are packaged by the manufacturer in accordance with the climatic conditions
and stress encountered during transit and in the recipient country.
• The notes on the packaging for transportation, storage, and proper handling must be
observed.
• For transportation using forklifts, the devices must be set down on a wooden pallet.
• When the devices are unpacked, they can be transported using the optional transport
eyebolts (option M90) or rails on the cabinet unit. The load must be distributed evenly.
Heavy blows or impacts must be avoided during transit and when the devices are being
set down, for example.
• Shock / tilt indicators are affixed to the packaging to detect unacceptable impact or tilting
of the cabinet unit during transport (see Chapter "Transport Indicators").
• Permissible ambient temperatures:
Ventilation: -25° to +70° C, class 2K3 according to IEC 60721-3-2
Briefly down to -40° C for max. 24 hours
Note
Notes regarding damage in transit
• Carry out a thorough visual inspection of the device before accepting the delivery from
the transportation company. Pay special attention to transport damage that is not readily
apparent but indicated by the tilt and shock indicators.
• Ensure that you have received all the items specified on the delivery note.
• Notify the transportation company immediately of any missing components or damage.
• If you identify any hidden defects or damage, contact the transportation company
immediately and ask them to examine the device.
• If you fail to contact them immediately, you may lose your right to claim compensation for
the defects and damage.
• If necessary, you can request the support of your local Siemens office.
Storage
The devices must be stored in clean, dry rooms. Temperatures between -25° C and +55° C
are permissible (class 1K4 according to EN 60721-3-1). Temperature variations greater than
20 K per hour are not permitted.
If the cabinet is stored for a prolonged period once it has been unpacked, cover it or take
other appropriate measures to ensure that it does not become dirty and that it is protected
against environmental influences. If such measures are not taken, the warranty becomes
invalid in the event of a claim for damages.
