Page 105: Disposal
Equipment handling Disposal At the end of the product lifetime, all Kongsberg Maritime products must be disposed in an environmental friendly way. Kongsberg Maritime offers a product recycling service and we recommend that this is used. The service is described on http://www.km.kongsberg.com...
Page 106: Re-Packaging
Kongsberg ACS500 Heavy units may be equipped with lifting lugs for transportation by crane within the workshop or installation area. Before you use a crane: • You must check the applicable weight certificate for the crane. • You must check the security of the lifting lugs.
Page 107: Storage After Use
Equipment handling Note Units containing lithium or alkaline batteries must be handled separately and with care. Such units are marked accordingly. Do not attempt to recharge such batteries, open them or dispose of them by incineration. Refer to the applicable product data sheets. Storage after use If a unit is removed from its operating location and placed into storage, it must be properly cleaned and prepared before packing.
Page 108: Cables
Cables Wipe clean all exposed cables, and check for damage. If a cable shows signs of wear or ageing, contact Kongsberg Maritime for advice. Dehumidifier Place a suitably sized bag of desiccant material (silica gel or similar) into the unit to keep the electronic components as dry as possible.
Page 109: Unpacking
Equipment handling • If any units are damaged, prepare an inspection report stating the condition of the unit and actions taken. Describe the damage and collect photographic evidence if possible. Re-preserve the equipment. • If the units are not damaged, check the humidity absorbing material. If required, dry or replace the bags, then re-pack the unit(s) according to the packing instructions.
