Worcester Controls Pulsair III Digital Electronic Positioner FCD WCAIM2056-00 - 08/04

Storage Indoors

Store the positioner in its original packaging. The storage environment must be clean,

dry, and cool 60-80°F (15-26°C).

Storage Outdoors or for a Longer Period

If the positioner must be stored outdoors, it is important that all cover screws are

tightened and that all connections are properly sealed. The unit should be packed with a

desiccant (silica gel) in a plastic bag or similar, covered with plastic, and not exposed to

sunlight, rain, or snow.

This is also applicable for long-term storage (more than 1 month) and for long transport

by sea.

Storage in a Warm Place

When the positioner is stored in a warm place with a high relative humidity and is sub-

jected to daily temperature variations, the air inside the unit will expand and contract.

This means that air from outside the unit may be drawn into the positioner. Depending

on the temperature variations, relative humidity, and other factors, condensation and

corrosion can occur inside the unit, which in turn can give rise to functional disorders or

a failure.
