3.2 Transportation and storage
Note
Shipping
• The devices are packaged by the manufacturer in accordance with the climatic conditions
and stress encountered during transit and in the recipient country.
• The packaging instructions relating to transportation, storage, and proper handling must
be observed.
• For transportation using forklifts, the devices must be set down on a wooden pallet.
• Once the devices are unpacked, they can be transported using the optional transport
eyebolts or beams on the cabinet unit (option M90). The load must be distributed evenly
for this. Strong shocks or impacts must be avoided during transit and when the devices
are being set down, for example.
• Shock and tilt indicators affixed to the packaging will signal if the cabinet unit is subjected
to impermissible shocks or tilting when in transit (see "Shipping and handling indicators").
• Permissible ambient temperatures:
Air cooling: -13 °F (-25 °C) to 158 °F (+70 °C), class 2K3 acc. to IEC 60 721-3-2
Briefly done to -40 °F (-40 °C) for max. 24 hours
Note
Damage in transit
• Carry out a thorough visual inspection of the device before accepting the delivery from
the shipping company. Pay special attention to transport damage that is not readily
apparent but indicated by the tilt and shock indicators.
• Check that you have received all the items specified on the delivery note.
• Notify the shipping company immediately of any missing components or damage.
• If you identify any hidden defects or damage, contact the shipping company immediately
and ask them to examine the device.
• If you fail to contact the shipping company immediately, you may forfeit 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 -13 °F (-25 °C) and
131 °F (+55 °C) are permissible. Temperature fluctuations greater than 20 K per hour are not
permitted.
If the cabinet unit 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.
