Transport and packaging

Choose a suitable packaging when returning the unit itself or one of its components to Cornelius Deutschland GmbH, e.g. for re-
pairs. In particular, make sure that the unit and any components are protected from shock/impact, moisture, dirt and electrostatic
discharge (ESD). This will prevent transport damage to the unit 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 unit. This will lead to damage to internal components.
• Before shipment, storage or relocation of the unit, the unit is to be cleaned and the cleaning solution is to
be fully drained from the unit.
2.1

Storage

Avoid excessive temperature fluctuations as condensate may form, which in turn may cause damage to the unit or to the compo-
nents.
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 unit, as well as certain weather conditions (e.g. condensate forming in the unit, sun-
light) will cause damage to the unit and its components.
• Protect the unit and its components by storing the unit in a clean and dry place, and by ensuring stable
ambient conditions.
• If possible, store the unit in its original packaging. Unpacked units must be covered 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 units and/or any electronic components in their original packaging.
• Keep units 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 units must be carried out in compliance with the applicable local and/or national and international regulations. Units
must not be disposed of with household waste.
If the unit 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.
