General Handling Procedures for Medium Voltage Controllers
MV-QS050B-EN-P – November 2006
1
Scope
This document pertains to the Bulletin 1500 and 1900 family of
medium voltage (MV) controllers. Additional procedures may apply
for specific equipment. Please refer to other documentation provided
with the equipment.
Receiving
Upon receiving the controller, remove the packing and check for
damage that may have occurred during shipping. Report any damage
immediately to the claims office of the carrier. The customer must
make all claims for damage to the carrier as soon as possible after
receipt of the equipment. Rockwell Automation will be glad to offer
reasonable assistance to the customer in resolving such damage claims.
Accessories
Accessory items may be shipped with the controller. During the post-
delivery inspection, all accessories or loose items listed on the shipping
documentation should be located before moving the controller to an
installation or storage area. Be careful not to mix the accessory kits.
Tags may indicate the location of accessories.
Note: Bus splice links are shipped with the equipment in a separate
box. Retain these links for future use as the equipment is
assembled.
Storage
Important:
Store the controller in the following conditions if it will
not be installed immediately after receiving it.
Store the controller in a clean, dry, dust-free environment.
Storage temperature should be maintained between –20°C to
65°C (-4°F to 149°F). Relative humidity must not exceed 95%,
non-condensing. The controller should be stored in a climate-
controlled building with regulated air circulation to avoid damage.
Important:
Remove all packaging from the controller while storing it
to prevent condensation from damaging the cabinet and/or components.
Factory installed space heaters are recommended to prevent
condensation if storage temperature fluctuates or if humidity
exceeds 85%.
Medium voltage controllers that are designed for indoor use are
not shipped with sufficient packaging for outdoor storage. Make
sure you have provided adequate protection for your controller if
you plan to store it outside. Temporary electrical heating to prevent
condensation should also be installed. A space heater rated at
approximately 150 watts per vertical section is adequate for most
controllers. To avoid fire hazard, remove any loose packing or
flammable material from the cabinet prior to starting the space
heaters.
