Transport and storage

3.1

Inspection

Check the devices immediately after unpacking for possible
damage that may have occurred from improper transport.
Details of any damage that has occurred in transit must be
recorded on the transport documents.
All claims for damages must be submitted to the shipper
without delay and before installation.
3.2

Transport

DANGER
Life-threatening danger due to suspended loads.
In the case of suspended loads, a danger of the load falling
exists.
Remaining under suspended loads is prohibited.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to device slipping.
The device's center of gravity may be higher than the harness
suspension points.
— Make sure that the device does not slip or turn during
transport.
— Support the device laterally during transport.
3.3

Storing the device

Bear the following points in mind when storing devices:
— Store the device in its original packaging in a dry and dust-
free location.
— Observe the permitted ambient conditions for transport
and storage.
— Avoid storing the device in direct sunlight.
— In principle, the devices may be stored for an unlimited
period. However, the warranty conditions stipulated in the
order confirmation of the supplier apply.
Observe the following instructions:
— Do not expose the device to humidity during transport.
Pack the device accordingly.
— Pack the device so that it is protected against vibrations
during transport, e.g., by using air-cushioned packaging.
If the original packaging material is no longer available, wrap
the device in bubble wrap or corrugated cardboard and place it
in a box of sufficient size lined with a shock-absorbing material
(e.g., foam rubber). The thickness of the padding should be
appropriate for the device weight and type of shipment. The
box must be labeled as "fragile".
For overseas shipment, always add a desiccant (e.g., silica gel)
and hermetically seal the device plus desiccant in a layer of
polythene that is 0.2 mm thick. Use an amount of desiccant that
is appropriate for the packing volume and the expected
transport time (at least for three months). You should also line
the box with a layer of union paper.

Appendix) and include this with the device.
According to the EU Directive governing hazardous materials,
the owner of hazardous waste is responsible for its disposal or
must observe the following regulations for shipping purposes:
All devices delivered to ABB must be free from any hazardous
materials (acids, alkalis, solvents, etc.).
