1.1 Unpacking and Installation
1.1.1 Unpacking and Preliminary Inspection
A high-quality installation begins on the receiving dock.
1. Upon receipt and before unpacking, inspect the shipping crate for damage or mishandling.
Check the Shock-Watch™ indicator. If indicator is red, note on shipper’s receipt and check for
concealed damage. If any damage as a result of shipping is observed, file a damage claim with
the shipper within 24 hours and contact your local Liebert representative or Liebert Global
Services at 1-800-543-2378 to inform them of the damage claim and the condition of the
equipment.
2. If unit is to be stored before installation, it is recommended to store the unit in a dry
environment with temperatures in the range of 0°C to 40°C. Use original packing materials or
other suitable means to keep the unit clean. When opening the shipping crate, use care not to
puncture the container with sharp objects.
1.1.2 Handling Considerations
The Static Switch is bolted to a wooden shipping pallet to allow handling by forklift equipment.
Easily Moved—The unit is furnished with integral castors that allow the unit to be rolled into
place after it has been unbolted and removed from the shipping pallet.
Check the unit size and weight—Refer to the cabinet drawings furnished with the unit for size
and weight. Typical cabinet dimensions are shown in Figure 1 through Figure 3. Typical unit
weights are:
Plan the route—The route that the unit will follow to its installed location should be planned to
ensure that all passages are large enough to accommodate the unit and support the weight. For
example, are the doorways, elevators, ramps, etc., adequate? Are there any nonnegotiable corners
of offsets in hallways?
Move with care—In order to prevent panel damage, it is recommended that the exterior panels
be removed before the unit is moved and replaced once handling is complete. When replacing the
exterior panels, remember to reconnect all panel ground wires.
NOTE
Read the entire manual before installing and operating the system. Upon
receipt of the Precision Power Center Static Switch, the installer should
perform the following steps to assure a high-quality installation.
NOTE
The unit should not be loosened from the shipping pallet until all handling
by forklift or pallet jack is completed.
