11 Packaging, storage and handling of the modules
11.1 Packaging
Each module is supplied separately in a cardboard box.
Each cardboard box has a glued identification label, which corresponds to the module reference.
The modules must remain in their original packaging until they are integrated, i.e. "mechanically" and "electrically" installed, in
the control/command equipment.
11.2 Storage
The storage conditions described below must be strictly adhered to, otherwise there is a risk that the product warranty will be
completely voided by SDMO and/or by the manufacturer of the products.
Store in a location free from dust.
Temperature: -20°C to +70°C.
Relative humidity: from 5% to 95% with no condensation.
The modules may be stacked on top of each other,
provided the following conditions are observed:
- stored flat recommended
- stored at an angle not recommended
Figure 23 - stored flat
Figure 24 - stored at an angle
11.3 Handling
11.3.1 Module packed in its box
No particular conditions need to be observed; handle the products with care, avoiding any impacts.
Bring the modules as close as possible to the workstation, before removing them from their original packaging.
11.3.2 Module not packed in its box
All electronic equipment is sensitive in varying degrees to static electricity. To protect the components against the effects of
static electricity, it is necessary to follow the following special precautions to minimise or prevent any electrostatic discharges.
Insofar as possible, avoid wearing synthetic clothing and wear cotton clothing whenever possible, as this does not generate
static electricity.
Before removing the module from its packaging, touch a metal earth with your hand to discharge the body of any static
electricity, which could cause damage to the electronic components.
When installing the module in its surroundings, or if you move outside the working area, it will be necessary to touch a metal
earth again when re-entering the working area, as any movement along the ground can charge the body with static electricity.
If a module needs replacing (for instance, for repair), place the replaced
module in its original packaging or, if not possible, in an antistatic plastic bag of a
suitable size for the module.
It is formally prohibited to lift up the metal enclosure at the rear of the
module; failure to observe this risks voiding the product warranty provided by
SDMO and/or the product manufacturer completely.
