2.3 Transport and Storage
Avoid improper mechanical load of the device. The following points must especially be
taken into consideration:
▶ Protect the device against mechanical damage (max. acceleration = 40 m/s²).
▶ Protect the device against dirt and humidity.
Make sure that  dust plugs are plugged on optical fiber connectors equipped with
them during transport of the device. Otherwise, recommissioning is potentially not
possible.
▶ Never touch electronic components.
The  following  climatic  conditions  apply  to  the  storage.  If  required,  appropriate  meas‐
ures must be taken to ensure these climatic conditions (installation of heating/air condi‐
tioning systems etc.):
▶ The storage area must be clean (dust-free, if possible), dry and well-ventilated.
▶ Storage in the open is not permitted.
▶ The  storage  temperature  must  be  in  the  range  of  −25  °C  to  +55  °C  (−13  °F  to
+131 °F). Shortly it may be +70 °C (+158 °F).
▶ The relative humidity on the storage premises must be in the range of 5 % to 75 %
(no bedewing).
▶ Sudden changes of the temperature or the humidity should be prevented.
▶ Avoid stacking of the devices during transport and storage.
The maximum storage period is 2 years. Electrolytic capacitors produce high leakage
currents when a voltage is applied after a long storage period without applied voltage
and  must  be  reformed.  For  this,  the  operating  voltage  is  applied  via  a  1  kΩ  series
resistor  for  one  hour.  Please  contact  the  SIEB  &  MEYER  service  department  for
details.
2.4 Installation
 
NOTICE
Damage of electrostatically sensitive components due to improper handling
Never touch electronic components.
Consider specific mounting instructions for your device.
Mechanic conditions for the system installation:
Vibrations must be within the following limits, if the CNC chassis is mounted in or to the
machine.
Frequency [Hz]
Limits
2 Hz to 9 Hz max. 6 mm amplitude deflection
9 Hz to 25 Hz max. acceleration 10 m/s²
25 Hz to 150 Hz max. acceleration 5 m/s²

The  above  data  are  related  to  horizontal  movements  by  the  servo  amplifiers  of  the
series  mounted  in  a  72  WU  chassis.  Depending  on  the  device  type  and  size  of  the
chassis smaller values are possible.
