Unpacking and preparation
All units are carefully inspected
at the factory throughout the
entire fabrication and assembly
processes under Zehnder
Rittling's stringent quality
assurance program. All major
components and subassemblies
such as coils, drain pans,
nozzles and sealed edges are
carefully tested for proper
operation, visually inspected and
verified for full compliance with
factory standards.
Induction Units are usually
shipped on pallets of up to 10
units (24", 32") or 5 units (40",
52"). Each unit is factory tagged
according to the customer's
purchase order. This allows the
unit, upon removal from the
pallet, to be taken directly to its'
assigned space for immediate
installation. Units should not be
installed at locations other than
that designated on the tag.
Each unit is placed in a
cardboard container for
shipment to avoid damage
during normal handling in the
shipment process. It is the sole
responsibility of the customer
to provide the protection
necessary to prevent vandalism
and weather deterioration
of the equipment. Under no
condition should the units be left
unprotected from the elements.
If the equipment is not needed
immediately at the job site, it
should be left in its shipping
carton and stored in a clean,
dry area of the building or in a
warehouse. Do not remove any
equipment from its shipping
package until it is needed for
installation. The equipment
is NOT suitable for outdoor
installations.
After determining the condition of
the cardboard container exterior,
carefully remove each unit from the
container and inspect for hidden
damage. At this time, check that
all shipped loose items such as lint
screens, wall mounting strips, air
transition fittings, etc. are accounted
for and placed in a safe area. Any
hidden damage should be recorded
and immediately reported to the
carrier and a claim should be filed.
In the event a claim for shipping
damage is filed, the unit, cardboard
container, and all packing must be
kept for physical inspection by the
freight carrier.
Once the equipment is properly
positioned on the job site, cover
the units with either a shipping
carton, vinyl film, or an equivalent
protective covering. Cap open ends
of piping that is stored on a job site.
Take special care to prevent foreign
materials from entering the units in
areas where painting, dry walling,
or spraying of fireproof material,
etc. has not yet been completed as
these materials may accumulate in
the drain pan or on the coils. Foreign
material that accumulates within
the units can prevent proper start-
up, necessitate costly clean-up
operations, or result in immediate
or premature component failure.
Before installing any of the system
components, be sure to examine
each pipe, fitting and valve, and
remove any dirt or foreign material
found in or on these components. All
manufacturer's warranties are void
if foreign material is allowed to be
deposited in the drain pan or on the
coil of any unit. Some job conditions
may require some form of temporary
unit covering during construction.
DO NOT store or install units
in corrosive environments or in
locations subject to temperature
or humidity extremes (e.g.,
attics, garages, rooftops, etc.).
Corrosive conditions and high
temperature or humidity can
significantly reduce system
performance, reliability and
overall service life.
