Storing

WARNING!
To prevent damage to the MVCS, keep the delivery packaging and protection
canvas on until you install it.
• Always store the MVCS in upright position.
• Protect the MVCS from rainwater and dust. Use covers for air outlets. Avoid opening
the doors unnecessarily and remove the transportation plates during storage and at the
time of installation.
• If removing the MVCS from protective packaging and if condensation is possible in the
storage area, follow the below conditions:
• Supply power to the internal heaters to maintain the inside temperature of the unit
more than the outside temperature.
• If power supply is not available, add humidity desiccant bags inside the station.
• If the MVCS is stored for more than two weeks without using electric heaters, use
desiccant bags. See also,
• Make sure the ground underneath the MVCS is solid, flat, dry and vegetation-free. The
ground must support the station evenly from below and there should not be any twisting
or stress. Do not place the MVCS directly onto the bare ground because this could
damage the paint and cause corrosion.
• Place the MVCS on wooden support beams. Locate the beams under the four corners
and the middle points.

Conditions for using desiccant bags

• Hang the desiccant bags approximately 1 m from the floor.
• Use 500 grams of desiccant per week. For example, for four weeks of storage, use 2
kg of desiccant bags.
• Replace the bags with fresh bags every four weeks.
• Do not open the doors unnecessarily during the storage period.
• Examples of suitable container desiccants: Xdry desiccants "H model" or Clariant
"Container Dri®II- Pole".
Note: The MVCS is delivered with desiccant bags from factory as standard.
