Packaging
Each RCU is packaged in its own cardboard
box. Each box is labelled with a list of the
contents of the box and the serial number
of the RCU.
The cardboard box holds:
RCU
Pole-mounting bracket
Battery
Radio and/or antenna (if purchased from
Siemens)
Power supply isolation unit (if purchased
from Siemens)
RCU enclosure heater (if purchased from
Siemens).
To open the box, use a box cutter to cut
through the sealing tape and then fold open
the top flap to access the contents. All items
in the box can then be easily removed.
Other items as follows are packed separately
(optional):
Solar panel kit
VT kit.
Marking
The packaging has symbols which give
instructions for safe transport and proper
storage. For the dispatch of non-hazardous
goods, the following symbols apply. These
symbols must be strictly observed.
Receipt and handling of shipment
On receipt, the contents of each RCU box
should be checked for shipping damage and
the manufacturer informed immediately if
any damage is evident:
Check the cardboard box for shipping
damage.
Major damage must be documented
photographically.
Ensure that any damage to the
cardboard box is confirmed by the
transport company.
Inspection and unpacking
Inspect the equipment as soon as possible
after receipt for any damage that may have
occurred in transit. Before unpacking,
examine the package itself, as a damaged
package may indicate damage to the
contents of the package. Be careful when
unpacking equipment. The use of sledge
hammers and crowbars may damage the
finish, or the equipment itself. After
unpacking, examine equipment for any
possible damage. Check the shipping
manifest to be certain that all items have
been received.
Note: If there is a shortage, make certain it
is noted on the freight bill and contact the
carrier immediately. Notify Siemens
medium-voltage customer service at +1
(800) 347-6659 (+1 (919) 365-2200 outside
the U.S.) of any shortage or damage.
If the RCU has been stored in a cold
environment and is unpacked in a warm
environment, it is recommended to wait a
minimum of two hours before powering up
the RCU to avoid damage resulting from
condensation.
