STORAGE

If relays are not to be installed immediately upon receipt, they should be stored in a place
free from dust and moisture in their original cartons. Where de-humidifier bags have been
included in the packing they should be retained. The action of the de-humidifier crystals will
be impaired if the bag is exposed to ambient conditions and may be restored by gently
heating the bag for about an hour prior to replacing it in the carton.
To prevent battery drain during transportation and storage a battery isolation strip is fitted
during manufacture. With the lower access cover open, presence of the battery isolation strip
can be checked by a red tab protruding from the positive side.
Care should be taken on subsequent unpacking that any dust which has collected on the
carton does not fall inside. In locations of high humidity the carton and packing may become
impregnated with moisture and the de-humidifier crystals will lose their efficiency.
Prior to installation, relays should be stored at a temperature of between –40˚C to +70˚C.
