4.7 Recycling Instructions
The inappropriate disposal of electrical equipment can lead to an
environmental hazard. It is therefore important that electrical equipment
be disposed of by qualified personnel.
The metallic casing, cover and front frame do not present any
environmental risk and can be recycled.
The circuit boards must be removed and should be disposed of by a
licensed disposal company. Environmentally harmful elements such as
capacitors must be separated from the circuit boards.
The Unitrol 1000 devices are environmentally friendly designed. The
circuit boards are easy to remove.
Product disposal can be made in two alternative ways. The product can
be disassembled manually or crushed in a shredding machine.
4.7.1 Manual Disassembly
The product is disassembled manually and parts are sorted according to
their material contents as follows:
• Aluminum (cabinets, heat sinks etc.)
• Plastics
• Printed circuit boards
Metal parts (iron, copper and aluminum) can easily be recycled, other
materials according to local arrangements.
4.7.2 Mechanical Shredding
In this method, a whole product is mechanically shredded into small
pieces. Materials are sorted using dedicated sorting processes.
Components containing harmful materials must however be removed
before shredding.
