5 Transport and storage

Inspection

Check the devices immediately after unpacking for possible
damage that may have occurred from improper transport.
Details of any damage that has occurred in transit must be
recorded on the transport documents.
All claims for damages must be submitted to the shipper
without delay and before installation.

Transporting the device

Safety instructions

DANGER
Danger to life due to falling or toppling loads.
Risk of death or serious injury due to the device falling down
or toppling over!
• Standing under suspended loads is prohibited.
• Do not detach the hoisting equipment until installation is
complete.
• Only use the dedicated load pick-up devices (eyebolts) for
suspending the components.
Consider the following items during transport:
• Pay attention to the device weight details.
• Do not expose the device to humidity during transport.
Pack the device accordingly.
• Pay attention to the permissible transportation
temperatures for the device.

Returning devices

For the return of devices, follow the instructions in Returning
devices on page 39.

Storing the device

Note
The storage data provided below assumes that the devices are
fully closed and thus comply with the IP rating stated in the
specification.
When devices are supplied, their IP rating is guaranteed. If the
devices have been tested or commissioned, the IP rating needs
to be guaranteed before they are put into storage.
The devices may be stored under moist and corrosive conditions
for a short time. The equipment is protected against external
corrosive influences. However, direct exposure to rain, snow,
etc., must be avoided.
The permissible storage and transport temperatures must be
observed.
Devices equipped with a heater are also protected by desiccant,
which is placed in the following locations where condensation
may be a problem:
Position sensor: In connection chamber
Electronic unit In electrical connection chamber
The desiccant guarantees sufficient protection for
approximately 150 days. It can be regenerated at a temperature
of 90 °C (114 °F) within 4 h.
Remove the desiccant prior to commissioning the actuator or
the electronics.
If you intend to store or transport the device for a prolonged
period (> 6 months), we recommend that you wrap it in plastic
film and add desiccant.
Protect uncovered metallic surfaces with an appropriate long-
term corrosion inhibitor.
The relevant long-term storage temperatures must be observed.
