6�2 Storing the control block
• The storage areas must befree from corrosive materials, vapors and gases.
• To prevent damage tothe seals, the operation of ozone-forming devices
(e.g.mercury-vapor lamps, copiers, printers, high voltage equipment, electric
motors, sources ofelectrical sparks orelectrical discharge) is to be avoided
instorage areas.
• The storage areas must bedry and free from dust.
• Ideal storage temperature: +5 °C to+20°C.
• Minimum storage temperature: –20°C
• Max. storage temperature: +40°C
• UV protection: 100%
Avoid significant exposure tolight (e.g.bright windows ordirect
fluorescentlighting).
• Relative humidity (no condensation): max. 65 %.
• Do not stack control blocks and store them protected against collisions.
• Do not store the control block on sensitive assembled parts, e.g. actuation
elements, sensors, solenoids, or valves.
• Do not remove protective covers and protective plugs.
 Check the professional storage of the control block on a monthly basis.
The maximum permissible storage time istwo years.
By default, control blocks are protected against corrosion with priming
(single-coatlacquer) or with a galvanized coating at the factory.
Mineral oil in plugged valves provides internal corrosion protection. Non-painted
or coating surfaces on the control block not provided with a galvanized coating
(e.g.flange surfaces) are not protected against corrosion.
Delayed commissioning, long freight and storage times or a prolonged
decommissioning of Rexrothcontrol blocks leads to rust formation. Take additional
corrosion protection measures toprevent this.
Warranty entitlement will berendered void ifthe requirements and storage
conditions are not adhered toor after expiration ofthe maximum storage time.
Recommended procedure after longer storage times:
1� Check the entire control block for damage and corrosion prior to installation.
2� Perform a test run to check the control block for proper function and
leak-tightness.
3� External seals of control blocks that have been stored for longer than
12months are to be checked for damage before installation and may need to
be replaced.
4� If the storage time oftwo years isexceeded, external seals must bereplaced.
After expiration of the maximum storage time, we recommend having the
control block checked by your BoschRexroth service partner.
If you have any questions regarding repair and spare parts, contact your
responsible BoschRexroth service partner or the service department of the control
block manufacturer's plant, see Chapter10.5 "Spare parts" on page42.
