22 Storing, lifting and transporting
Storing the inverter
• To prevent damage to the inverter, keep it in the protective packaging that it is shipped
in. Contact FIMER if the storage period will be two years or more.
• Always store the inverter in the upright position. Never place it on its side or back.
• To avoid condensation inside the inverter, it is recommended to store the inverter
indoors in a dry (heated) warehouse.
• If the inverter is removed from the protective packaging and condensation is possible
in the storage area:
• Supply power to the internal heaters to keep the inside temperature of the inverter
above the outside temperature.
• If power is not available, add humidity desiccant bags inside the inverter. Use
desiccant bags if the unit is stored for more than two weeks without using electric
heaters. Use 200 g desiccant per week. For example, for four weeks of storage,
use 800 g of desiccant bags. Replace the bags with fresh bags every four weeks
and do not open the doors unnecessarily during the storage period. Examples of
suitable desiccants: Xdry desiccants “H model” or Clariant “Container Dri®II-Pole”.
When it leaves the factory, the inverter has desiccant bags inside.
• The air inlets and outlets of the inverter are sealed. If it is not required, do not open or
remove any protective packaging.
• If the inverter is stored outside for an extended period, this can cause damage to the
protective packaging.
• Make sure that the ground under the inverter is solid, flat, dry and vegetation-free. The
ground must support the inverter evenly from below. There must be no twisting or
stress to the inverter frame. Do not put the inverter onto bare ground because this can
cause damage to the paint and corrosion.
• Store the inverter on wooden support beams.
