2 HANDLING THE GOODSOur products are of robust construction but require careful treatment before installation on site. This sectiondiscusses the requirements for receiving and unpacking the goods, as well as associated considerations regardingproduct care and personal safety.Caution:Before lifting or moving the equipment you should be familiar with the SafetyInformation chapter of this manual.2.1 RECEIPT OF THE GOODSOn receipt, ensure the correct product has been delivered. Unpack the product immediately to ensure there hasbeen no external damage in transit. If the product has been damaged, make a claim to the transport contractorand notify us promptly.For products not intended for immediate installation, repack them in their original delivery packaging.2.2 UNPACKING THE GOODSWhen unpacking and installing the product, take care not to damage any of the parts and make sure thatadditional components are not accidentally left in the packing or lost. Do not discard any CDROMs or technicaldocumentation. These should accompany the unit to its destination substation and put in a dedicated place.The site should be well lit to aid inspection, clean, dry and reasonably free from dust and excessive vibration. Thisparticularly applies where installation is being carried out at the same time as construction work.2.3 STORING THE GOODSIf the unit is not installed immediately, store it in a place free from dust and moisture in its original packaging. Keepany de-humidifier bags included in the packing. The de-humidifier crystals lose their efficiency if the bag isexposed to ambient conditions. Restore the crystals before replacing it in the carton. Ideally regeneration shouldbe carried out in a ventilating, circulating oven at about 115°C. Bags should be placed on flat racks and spaced toallow circulation around them. The time taken for regeneration will depend on the size of the bag. If a ventilating,circulating oven is not available, when using an ordinary oven, open the door on a regular basis to let out thesteam given off by the regenerating silica gel.On subsequent unpacking, make sure that any dust on the carton does not fall inside. Avoid storing in locations ofhigh humidity. In locations of high humidity the packaging may become impregnated with moisture and the de-humidifier crystals will lose their efficiency.The device can be stored between –25º to +70ºC for unlimited periods or between -40°C to + 85°C for up to 96hours (see technical specifications).2.4 DISMANTLING THE GOODSIf you need to dismantle the device, always observe standard ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions. Theminimum precautions to be followed are as follows:● Use an antistatic wrist band earthed to a suitable earthing point.● Avoid touching the electronic components and PCBs.Chapter 20 - Installation P14x476 P14xEd1-TM-EN-1
