3.2 Transport and Storage
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to electronic safety components, and to
ensure the safe operation of the HD-1500, observe the shipping and storage
instructions in this section.
Ship and store the HD-1500 in:
l
A temperature-controlled environment, ranging from -20 to 60°C. The humidity range is
5% to 95%, non-condensing.
l
Its original shipping crate, which is designed to prevent damage from shock and vibra-
tion in transit. Protect the crate from excessive shock and vibration.
Use a rated forklift, pallet jack or similar devices to move the shipping crate.
Always ship and store the platform in an upright position in a clean and dry area. Do not lay
the crate on its side or any other non-upright position. This could damage the platform.
For dimensions, and weight of the HD-1500 crate, see: HD-1500 Unpacking on page 65.
Battery Crate
Ship and store the HD-1500 battery only under the conditions described in this section.
Storage Requirements
OMRON recommends the following temperatures based on the duration of storage:
ll -20 to 35°C, 5-95% RH non-condensing
For transportation of up to 2 weeks, the manufacturer recommends:
l -20 to 60°C, 5-95% RH non-condensing
The battery should start the storage period as fully-charged. If storing the battery for an exten-
ded period, recharge it periodically to avoid total discharge, which would damage the battery.
Fully recharging a battery every six months is sufficient to keep it charged enough to avoid
damage.
Storage Position
The batteries must be stored as displayed in the following figure. You must not lay the bat-
teries on their sides, top, front or rear end. For information on the safety considerations, see:
Battery Safety on page 52.
