Internal batteries

If the unit contains batteries, these may discharge slowly during

storage. If the unit is to be stored for an extended period,

disconnect or remove all internal batteries.

A suitable piece of insulating m aterial can be placed between

the battery and the electrical contacts to prevent electrical

discharge. The battery can then remain in the unit, reducing the

risk of it being misplaced during the storage period.

Caution: Units containing lithium or alkaline batteries must be

handled separately and with care. Such units are

marked accordingly. Do not attempt to recharge such

batteries, open them or dispose of them by

incineration. Refer to the applicable product data

sheets.

Dehumidifier

Place a suitably sized bag of desiccant m aterial (silica gel or

similar) into the unit to keep the electronic components as dry as

possible.

Coatings

Spray the unit externally with a corrosion inhibitor (e.g. a light

oil) before packing.

Re-packing

The unit should be stored and transported in its original packing

material and/or crate. In the event that this material is not

available, proceed as follows:

• Small units must be protected from damp by being placed

within a plastic bag at least 0.15 mm thick. An appropriate

quantity of desiccant material should be placed inside this

bag, and the bag sealed. The sealed unit must then be placed

in an appropriate carton or crate, and supported in the

container by appropriate shock-absorbing insulation

(polystyrene foam chips etc.).

• Large units must be placed in a suitable cardboard box or

wooden crate. The unit must be protected against physical

damage by means of shock-absorbing insulation mats. The

box must be clearly marked with its contents, and must be

stored in a dry and dust-free area.
