3.2 Storage and Disposal
3.2.1 Storage
Store the products in the following conditions listed below (if not used for a long period of time).
Store the product in the same appropriate environmental conditions as in operation.
If the product will be stored more than 3 months, keep the ambient temperature between -
10℃~30℃ to prevent degradation of the electrolytic capacitor.
The products should not be exposed to snow, rain, fog and dust.
When packing the inverter, include a dehumidifier (e.g. silica gel) to keep the ambient
temperature inside the package below 70% and prevent in contact with moisture.
If the products will be left in a humid or dusty environment (construction sites or control panel)
separate the products in a location that has the same appropriate environmental conditions as
in operation.
3.2.2 Disposal
Categorize the inverters as general industrial waste when disposing the product. Note that there
are recyclable raw materials in the product, such as packing materials and metalwork. For the sake
of conservation of energy and resources, recycle whenever possible. Depending on the country,
plastic may be recyclable. Please check the local environmental regulations for more details.
Capacitors lose their charging characteristics if not operated for a long time. In order to prevent
this from happening, turn on the product and allow the device to operate for 30~60 minutes once
a year. Note that operation should be conducted under no-load conditions.
