Transport - Siemens SIMOVERT MV Series Commissioning Instructions

1 Transport, storage and installation
1.1

Transport

The units are extremely heavy. Their center of gravity is offset so that they are in
some cases heavier on the top.
The high weight of the equipment will always require the appropriate hoisting gear
and trained personnel. The equipment may only be transported upright, in the
position marked. It is not permissible that the equipment is tipped-over and
transported in the horizontal position.
If the equipment is incorrectly hoisted and transported, this can result in serious
bodily injury and even death and significant material damage.
The equipment is packed in the manufacturers plant corresponding to the stressing
and climatic conditions during transport and in the country of destination.
The instructions on the packaging for transport, storage and professional handling
must be observed.
The equipment is mounted on a wooden pallet so that it can be transported using
fork lift trucks. When unpacked, it can be transported using the transport rails
mounted on the drive converter. It must be ensured that the load is distributed
evenly.
Significant vibrations during transport and hard jolts, for example, when setting
down, should be avoided.
Carefully investigate the equipment before you accept the shipment from the
transport company. Compare every item which you receive, with those items
documented on the delivery note. You should immediately inform the transport
company of every defect or damage. If you discover hidden defects or damage,
immediately contact the transport company and request him to evaluate the
equipment. If you don't inform the transport company immediately, under certain
circumstances, you may lose your claim for damage or defects. If required, you can
request support from your local Siemens office.
If the equipment was damaged during transport, then it has been subject to an
inadmissible stress level. Under certain circumstances, the electrical safety of the
unit can no longer be guaranteed. It may not be connected unless it has been first
subject to a high-voltage test.
If this is not observed, death, severe bodily injury or significant material damage
could result.
