Installation
Outdoor storage of
switchgear packed in
seaworthy crates
If the switchgear or parts thereof are delivered in seaworthy crates, these can be stored
up to 6 months in other rooms or outdoors. The storage place must have the following
characteristics:
• Floor with adequate load-bearing capacity (weights as per delivery note)
• Protected against humidity (rain water, flooding, melting water from snow and ice),
pollution, vermin (rats, mice, termites, etc.) and unauthorized access
• Place all crates on planks and square timber for protection against floor humidity.
• After 6 months of storage, have the desiccant agent regenerated professionally.
To do this, ask for expert personnel via your regional Siemens representative.
11.4 Unloading and transport to the place of installation
Ö Attach ropes far enough on the hoisting tackle so that they cannot exert any forces
on the switchpanel walls under load.
Ö Sling the ropes around the ends of the wooden pallets.
Ö Move the switchgear on their wooden pallets as far as possible.
Ö Unload the transport units and set them down as close to the switchgear building as
possible in order to avoid unnecessary ways.
Ö Move the transport units into the building, if possible on their wooden pallets.
Only remove packing where absolutely necessary in order to keep the switchgear as
clean as possible.
Ö Remove foil only in the building, right before assembling the transport units,
and temporarily to check for transport damages.
Ö Set the transport units down in the correct sequence directly in front of the place of
installation (leave a clearance for installation).
ATTENTION!
Non-observance of the following instructions can endanger people or damage
the transport units while unloading.
Ö Make sure that nobody is standing in the swinging area of lifted switchgear.
Ö Attach ropes far enough on the hoisting tackle so that they cannot exert any forces
on the switchpanel walls under load.
Ö Observe the dimensions and weights of the transport unit (delivery note).
Ö Observe even weight distribution and the high center of gravity of the switchgear.
Ö Please ensure that the lifting and transport gear used meets the requirements as
regards construction and load-bearing capacity.
Ö Do not climb onto the roof of the switchpanels.
Ö If the low-voltage compartment is removed, do not step on the mounting plates of
the low-voltage compartments.
Ö Observe the instructions on the packing.
Ö Unload the transport units in packed condition and leave packed for as long as
possible.
Ö Do not damage the PE protective foil.
