The unit must whenever possible be stored in its original transportation crate until ready for installation.
General specifications
During storage, each box must not be used for any purpose for which it was not intended (work platform, table, steps etc.).
Once unpacked, all equipment must be kept in a dry, non condensing atmosphere, free from corrosive agents and isolated from
sources of vibration.
NoteDo not break the seal to open a circuit board package before the board is to be used. If the board package is returned to
Kongsberg Maritime with the seal broken, we will assumed that the unit has been used, and then you will be billed accordingly.
Each unit must be installed in its intended operating position as soon as possible after unpacking. If the unit contains normal
batteries, these may have been disconnected/isolated before the unit was packed. These must then be reconnected during the
installation procedure. Units containing batteries are marked.
CautionUnits containing lithium or alkaline batteries must be handled separately and with care. Such units are marked accordingly.
Do not attempt to recharge such batteries, open them, or dispose of them by incineration.
Refer to the applicable product data sheets or battery handling procedures for further details.
Temperature protection
Any units that requires protection against extreme temperatures are identified as such in the applicable documentation. The
box used to transport and store such units are clearly marked, for example:
Must not be transported or stored in temperatures below -5 °C.
Other temperature limits may be used if applicable.
If a unit needs temperature protection, the box to be used for storage and transportation must be lined on all walls, base
and lid, using minimum 5 cm thick polyurethane or polystyrene foam.
Most system units can normally be stored in temperatures between -30° C and +70° C. Refer to the relevant technical specifications
for details.
NoteUnless otherwise specified, transducers and hydrophones must not be stored in temperatures below −10°C and above +50°C.
