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.
