Transport and packaging

Choose a suitable packaging when returning the dispensing valve itself or one of its components to Cornelius Deutschland GmbH,
e.g. for repairs. In particular, make sure that the dispensing valve and any components are protected from shock/impact, moisture,
dirt and electrostatic discharge (ESD). This will prevent transport damage to the dispensing valve and to the components, for which
the manufacturer shall assume no liability.
ATTENTION!
Component damage due to freezing liquids!
Ambient temperatures that are below freezing will lead to the freezing of any water or cleaning agent residue
remaining inside the dispensing valve. This will lead to damage to internal components.
• Before shipment, storage or relocation, the dispensing valve is to be cleaned and the cleaning solution is
to be fully drained from the dispensing valve.
2.1

Storage

Avoid excessive temperature fluctuations as condensate may form, which in turn may cause damage to the dispensing valve or
to its components.
The permissible storage temperature is -10 °C to +50 °C.
The acclimatisation period is 6 hours.
ATTENTION!
Damage due to improper storage!
Dirt or moisture entering a dispensing valve, as well as certain weather conditions (e.g. condensate forming in
the dispensing valve, sunlight) will cause damage to the dispensing valve and its components.
• Protect the dispensing valve and its components by storing the dispensing valve in a clean and dry place,
and by ensuring stable ambient conditions.
• If possible, store the dispensing valve in its original packaging. Unpacked dispensing valves must be cov-
ered with a dustproof cover. No condensate must form under the cover.
ATTENTION!
Risk of electrostatic charge!
Improper handling or storage may result in electrostatic charges.
• If possible, store dispensing valves and/or any electronic components in their original packaging.
• Keep dispensing valves and/or electronic components away from charged objects, fields and insulators.
• Avoid electrostatic charges when removing packaging and/or handling electronic assemblies and compo-
nents by working at an ESD-protected workstation or work area.
• When working at the unit or its components, wear a grounding (antistatic) wrist strap at the very least and
wear antistatic gloves if necessary.
ATTENTION!
Component damage due to material ageing!
Material can age due to long storage periods, thereby affecting the material's properties (e.g. plastics and seals
may become brittle). The properties of lubricants may change due to long storage periods.
• Check the assemblies and components for damage before each use/before installing them. Do not install
assemblies or components that show visible signs of ageing.
2.2

Disposal

Disposal of the dispensing valves must be carried out in compliance with the applicable local and/or national and international reg-
ulations. Units must not be disposed of with household waste.
If the dispensing valve contains fuels or lubricants in liquid, paste-like or gaseous form, such as oil, grease, cooling agents etc.,
such fuels or lubricants are to be collected using appropriate measures and disposed of in compliance with the applicable local
and/or national and international regulations. Such fuels or lubricants must always be prevented from seeping into the ground, the
sewage system and any bodies of water, and must always be prevented from entering the atmosphere.
