Technical 
 
electronic circuitry, or modification work, should be carried out in a Special Handling Area 
such as described in the above-mentioned BS and IEC documents. 
2.3  Mounting 
Products are dispatched, either individually, or as part of a panel/rack assembly.  
If loose products are to be assembled into a scheme, then construction details can be 
found in Publication R7012.  If an MMLG test block is to be included it should be 
positioned at the right hand side of the assembly (viewed from the front).  Modules should 
remain protected by their metal case during assembly into a panel or rack.  The design of 
the relay is such that the fixing holes are accessible without removal of the cover.  For 
individually mounted units, an outline diagram is normally supplied showing the panel cut-
outs and hole centres.  These dimensions will also be found in Publication R6520. 
2.4  Unpacking 
Care must be taken when unpacking and installing the products so that none of the parts 
are damaged, or the settings altered and they must only be handled by skilled persons.  
The installation should be clean, dry and reasonably free from dust and excessive 
vibration.  The site should be well lit to facilitate inspection.  Modules that have been 
removed from their cases should not be left in situations where they are exposed to dust 
or damp.  This particularly applies to installations which are being carried out at the same 
time as construction work. 
2.5  Storage 
If products are not to be installed immediately upon receipt they should be stored in a 
place free from dust and moisture in their original cartons.  Where de-humidifier bags 
have been included in the packing they should be retained.  The action of the de-
humidifier crystals will be impaired if the bag has been exposed to ambient conditions 
and may be restored by gently heating the bag for about an hour, prior to replacing it in 
the carton.  
Dust which collects on a carton may, on subsequent unpacking, find its way into the 
product; in damp conditions the carton and packing may become impregnated with 
moisture and the de-humidifier will lose its efficiency. 
Storage temperature –25°C to +70°C.
