- a plastic bag containing the installer’s guide,
- the assembly kit screw-in or Faston connectors,

1.1. TRANSPORTATION
Thegrossweightoftheequipmentinitspackingis12kg. Itcaneasilybemovedbyoneperson.
Theprecautionstobetakenwhentransportingthepackagearethoseusedforthetransportation
of electronic equipment.
The cardboard box can withstand a weight of 100 kg without being deformed. You should
therefore avoid stacking more than 5 boxes of the same equipment or any other package
weighting more than 80 kg on top of it.
When handling the box, avoid dropping or knocking it. If the box falls more than 0.80 metres
ononeofitssurfaces,theequipmentcomponents(modules,connectors,board-guides,etc.)may
be damaged or distorted. If the box falls on its corner, the equipment may be damaged in the
same way. Great care must therefore be taken when handling the box.
The packing guarantees that the equipment will remain in good condition when submitted to
accelerations of less than 3 g (g = 9.81 m/s2) for all modes of transport (overland, railway, sea
and air).
The vibration resistance of the EPAC 3100/3500 is in conformance with the response curve
defined by the IEEE Seismic Testing of Relays standard.

1.2. STORAGE ON SITE OR IN A WAREHOUSE
1.2.1 Normal Storage Conditions
While the equipment is stored on site, it must be kept in its original packing.
Thecardboardboxmustbeputonapalletsothatitdoesnotabsorbanyhumidityfromtheground.
1.2.2 Long-Term Storage Conditions
For long-term storage in a warehouse and for certain types of transport (overland, sea and
tropical),werecommendtheuseofmoisturebarriersinordertokeepthelevelofhumidityinside
the envelope at a level lower than 5 g of water per m3.
These packages contain dessicant pouches that must be renewed every 6, 12 or 24 months
depending on whether the packing is provided for overland, sea or tropical conditions. The
dessicant pouches are put inside the envelope but do not touch the equipment. Therefore the
equipment may be stored for 3 years in the following storage conditions (no tests are needed
during this period to check that the relay operates correctly):
- stored in a sheltered area without air-conditioning,
- temperature: - 40°C to 70°C,
- relative humidity: less than 95% with no condensation.
