NOTE

SIPROTEC devices must be stored in rooms that are clean and dry. Devices or associated replacement
modules must be stored at a temperature of -25 °C to +55 °C.
The relative humidity must be at a level where condensed water and ice are prevented from forming.
Siemens recommends observing a restricted storage temperature range of +10 °C to +35 °C in order to
prevent the electrolytic capacitors used in the power supply from aging prematurely.
If the device has been in storage for more than 2 years, connect it to an auxiliary voltage for 1 to 2 days. This
action will cause the electrolytic capacitors to form on the printed circuit board assemblies again.
If devices are to be shipped elsewhere, you can reuse the transport packaging. When using different pack-
aging, you must ensure that the transport requirements according to ISO 2248 are met. Storage packing of
the individual devices is not adequate for transport purposes.
The lithium batteries contained in SIPROTEC devices meet all international requirements of the hazardous
goods specifications for the various carriers (Special Provision 188 of the UN Recommendations on the Trans-
port of Dangerous Goods, Special Provision A45 of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, and the ICAO Tech-
nical Instructions). This action only applies to the original battery or genuine replacement batteries.
Battery Disposal
NOTICE

by the manufacturer. Replacing with the wrong type can cause an explosion hazard. Comply with the
relevant national/international regulations when disposing of batteries.
Only have the lithium battery in the device replaced by skilled personnel.
²
Only replace the battery with VARTA or Panasonic CR 2032 or BR 2032 batteries. If you use a different
²
type of battery, this can cause a fire or explosion hazard. Observe the safety notes in the manual.
!
CAUTION
Caution against chemical reaction
Noncompliance with the safety notes can result in minor to medium injuries.
The battery used in the device can cause fire or chemical burns if handled improperly. Do not recharge
