Receiving and Storing Procedures Chapter 1
Storage
Store the drive according to the following conditions if not immediately
installing the equipment.
• Store the drive in a clean, dry, dust-free environment.
• Maintain a storage temperature between -40…+70 °C (-40...158 °F).
Occasionally, liquid-cooled drives use coolant that has a freezing point
higher than -20 °C (-4 °F). Check the freeze point of the coolant on the
coolant drum label and verify that the storage temperature remains above
that point. Relative humidity must not exceed 95%, non-condensing.
Rockwell Automation recommends that you store the drive in a heated/
climate-controlled building with regulated air circulation to avoid damage.
• Remove all packaging from the drive for storage to prevent condensation
from damaging the equipment.
• Use factory-installed space heaters to prevent condensation if storage
temperature fluctuates or if humidity exceeds 85%.
• Medium voltage enclosures are designed for indoor use and do not ship
with sufficient packaging for outdoor storage. Verify that you provide
adequate protection for the equipment if storing it outside. Install
temporary electrical heating to prevent condensation. Space heaters rated
at approximately 150 W per cabinet suit most enclosures. To avoid a fire
hazard, remove any loose packing or flammable material from the drive
before using the space heaters.
IMPORTANT Export-crated drives include a two-month supply of desiccant (from date of
shipment). If you require desiccant for longer storage times, please specify the
amount when ordering. You can leave the drive in the export crating until the
desiccant expires.
