12.3 Storage
If you are not using the product for an extended period, adhere to the following guidelines:
•
Store the product in the same environmental conditions as specified. Refer to section 0.
•
When storing the product for a period longer than 3 months, store it between 14°F and 86°F
•
(-10˚Cto 30˚C) to prevent depletion of the electrolytic capacitors. See Caution below.
•
Do not expose the inverter to snow, rain, fog, or dust.
•
Package the inverter in a way that prevents contact with moisture. Keep the moisture level below
70% in the package by including a desiccant, such as silica gel.
•
Do not allow the inverter to be exposed to dusty or humid environments. If the inverter is installed
in such environments (for example, a construction site) and the inverter will be unused for an
extended period, remove the inverter and store it in a safe place.
12.4 Disposal
When disposing of the product, categorize it as general industrial waste. Recyclable materials are
included in the product, so recycle them whenever possible. The packing materials and all metal parts
can be recycled. The plastic can also be recycled.
If the VFD has been stored for one year, capacitors start to lose their charging
characteristics and can become depleted. To prevent depletion, turn on the product
once a year and allow the device to operate for 30-60 min. Run the device under
no-load conditions.
