STORAGE
STORAGE ON RECEIPT FROM FACTORY
Storage Longer than 6 Months
Outside storage is NOT recommended. If possible, store electrical equipment in a heated
warehouse, above freezing temperatures.
Operate all electrical and electronic equipment at least once (1) a year for a minimum of two
hours, preferably during a low humidity season. Operate all switches at least ten (10) times and
allow the equipment to obtain normal operating temperature before turning off. Allow units to cool
before repackaging and returning to storage.
Storage up to 6 Months
Keep all equipment dry and well above the ground. If the equipment has been in transit for two
months or longer, replace the factory supplied desiccant (if so equipped) before placing in
storage. The use of evaporative corrosion inhibitors is recommended, but not mandatory.
STORAGE FOLLOWING USE
1. Clean all equipment and enclosures thoroughly inside and out.
2. Remove rust as necessary. Touch up painted surfaces as necessary to protect bare
metal surfaces. Protect electrical and electronic components from painting operations.
3. Place desiccant or evaporative corrosion inhibitors inside control enclosures.
4. Observe storage instructions as above for storage before use.
OPERATION AFTER STORAGE
When electrical equipment has been stored at either high humidity or low temperature, do not
apply power until the equipment has been allowed to stand at ambient conditions a minimum of
three (3) hours.
Remove all packing and/or protective materials. Remove all desiccants.
