Notes regarding transportation 
•
  The devices are packaged by the manufacturer in accordance with the climatic conditions 
and stress encountered during transit and in the recipient country. 
  The notes on the packaging for transportation, storage, and proper handling must be 
observed. 
  For transportation using forklifts, the devices must be set down on a wooden pallet. 
  When the devices are unpacked, they can be transported using the attached transport 
eyebolts. The load must be distributed evenly. Chains attached to the transport eyebolts 
must only be loaded vertically from above. Heavy blows or impacts must be avoided 
during transit and when the devices are being set down, for example. 
  Permissible ambient temperatures: 
Ventilation: -25° to +70° C, class 2K3 according to IEC 60721-3-2  
Briefly down to -40° C for max. 24 hours

Notes regarding damage in transit 
•
  Carry out a thorough visual inspection of the device before accepting the delivery from 
the transportation company. 
  Ensure that you have received all the items specified on the delivery note. 
  Notify the transportation company immediately of any missing components or damage. 
  If you identify any hidden defects or damage, contact the transportation company 
immediately and ask them to examine the device. 
  If you fail to contact them immediately, you may lose your right to claim compensation for 
the defects and damage. 
  If necessary, you can request the support of your local Siemens office. 
The devices must be stored in clean, dry rooms. Temperatures between -25° C and +55° C 
are permissible (class 1K4 according to EN 60721-3-1). Temperature variations greater than 
20 K per hour are not permitted. 
If the device is stored for a prolonged period once unpacked, cover it or take other 
appropriate measures to ensure that it does not become dirty and that it is protected against 
environmental influences. If such measures are not taken, the warranty becomes invalid in 
the event of a claim for damages.
