8.3 Storage and Disposal
8.3.1 Storage
If you are not using the product for an extended period, store it in the following way:
• Store the product in the same environmental conditions as specified for operation (refer to 1.3
Installation Considerations on page 4).
• When storing the product for a period longer than 3 months, store it between 10˚C and 30˚C,
to prevent depletion of the electrolytic capacitor.
• 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.
8.3.2 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. Although plastic can also be recycled, it can be incinerated under contolled
conditions in some regions.
If the inverter has not been operated for a long time, capacitors lose their charging characteristics and
are 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.
