Page 10 STORAGE
PREPARATION
If the controller is to be stored for any length
of time prior to installation, the packing should
be restored for protection during that period.
Where conditions permit, the packing should
be left intact until the controller is at the final
installation position. If the packing (Fig. 6) is
removed, the top and openings of the
controller should be covered during the
construction period to protect it against dust
and debris.
INDOOR EQUIPMENT
Controllers designed for indoor installation
(NEMA Type 1, 12) which are not to be
installed and energized immediately, should be
stored in a clean, dry space where a uniform
temperature prevents condensation.
Preferably, the controller should be stored in a
heated building, with adequate air circulation
and protected from dirt and water. Equipment
should be stored where it is not subject to
mechanical damage, especially during building
construction.
An indoor controller that is to be stored
outdoors should be securely covered for
protection from weather conditions and dirt.
Temporary electrical heating should be
installed to prevent condensation.
Approximately 150 watts per enclosure is
usually adequate.
NOTE:
All loose packing or flammable
materials should be removed before energizing
space heaters.
OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT
An unenergized controller designed for outdoor
installation (NEMA Type
EPIC building,
etc.) should be kept dry internally by installing
electrical heating or by energizing self-heaters,
if provided.
Fig. 6 Storage
All openings, either used or unused should be
covered or sealed to prevent the entry of rain,
vermin, insects, etc.
