3 Handling and Storage
Proper handling of the device throughout delivery, assembly, shipping, installation, usage,
and maintenance is very important. Not following the guidelines in this document could
damage the device, render it inoperable, and/or violate the conditions of the warranty.
3.1

Handling to Avoid Damage

Upon receiving the device, inspect it to make sure it originated from an authentic source and has not been
tampered with. For details, see D998200502 DynaProx / DynaProx BCR Device Inspection,
available from MagTek.
From device delivery through assembly, shipping, installation, usage, and maintenance, the device must
not be exposed to conditions outside the ratings in Appendix A Technical Specifications.
If the device is exposed to cold temperatures, adjust it to warmer temperatures gradually to avoid
condensation, which can interfere with the operation of the device or cause permanent damage.
Do not drop or shake the device.
For information about ongoing maintenance of the device, such as cleaning, see section 7 Maintenance.
3.2

Handling to Avoid Accidental Tamper

DynaProx products implement active tamper detection, which uses a small amount of electricity even
when the device is completely powered off. When unpowered by an external power supply, the device
powers its active tamper detection circuitry using its non-rechargeable backup battery. This provides 5
years of backup shelf life across the entire life of the device. If the backup battery is allowed to
completely discharge, the device's tamper detection engages and locks down the device, and it must be
returned to the manufacturer to reset.
To avoid accidental tamper events and to optimally condition the battery, follow these precautions:
•
Temperature is the most critical factor in extending battery life and preserving battery charge. Store
the device at the lowest reasonable temperatures within its specified storage temperature range (see
Appendix A Technical Specifications). Storing at temperatures between -30°C to 85°C (-22°F to
185°F) – DynaProx BCR -30°C to 70°C (-22°F to 158°F).
•
Do not drop or shake the device.
•
Do not attempt to disassemble the device.
