RECEIVING, HANDLING, AND STORAGE
RECEIVING
These relays, when not shipped as a part of a control panel, will be shipped in cartons designed to
protect them against damage. Immediately upon receipt of the relay, an examination should be made
for any damage sustained during shipment. If injury or damage resulting from rough handling is
evident, a damage claim should be filed at once with the transportation company and the nearest
General Electric Sales Office should be notified promptly.
HANDLING
Reasonable care should be exercised in unpacking the relay in order that none of the parts are injured
nor the adjustments disturbed.
STORAGE
If the relays are not to be installed immediately, they should be stored in their original cartons in a
place that is free from moisture, dust, and metallic chips. Foreign matter collected on the outside of
the case may find its way inside when the cover is removed and cause trouble in the operation of the
relay.
ACCEPTANCE TESTS
Immediately upon receipt of the relay an inspection and acceptance test should be made to make sure
that no damage has been sustained in shipment and that the relay calibrations have not been
disturbed.
VISUAL INSPECTION
Check the nameplate stamping to make sure that the model number and rating of the relay agree with
the requisition.
Remove the relay from its case and check that there are no broken or cracked molded parts or other
signs of physical damage, and that all screws are tight.
