1.- VERIFICATION UPON RECEPTION
1.1.- RECEPTION PROTOCOL
Check the following points when you receive the device:
a) The device meets the specifications described in your order.
b) The device has not suffered any damage during transport.
c) Perform an external visual inspection of the device prior to switching it on.
d) Check that it has been delivered with the following:
- Instruction manual
- Communication cable for connecting devices in parallel.(Models SVGm Wall and Rac
type).
e) Perform an external and internal visual inspection of the device prior to connecting it.
If any problem is noticed upon reception, immediately contact the transport com-
pany and/or CIRCUTOR's after-sales service.
1.2.- TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
The transport, loading and unloading and handling of the device must be carried
out with proper precautions and using the proper manual and mechanical tools so
as not to damage it.
If the device is not to be immediately installed, it must be stored at a location with
a firm and level floor, and the storage conditions listed in the technical features
section must be observed. In this case, it is recommended that the device be stored
with its original protective packaging.
To move the device a short distance, the device’s floor support profiles facilitate handling with a pallet
jack or forklift. (Figure 1)
Figure 1: Transport with pallet jack.

Instruction Manual
The centre of gravity of some devices may be found at a considerable height.There-
fore, when handling with a forklift, it is recommended that the device be securely
fastened and that no abrupt manoeuvres made. The device should not be lifted
more than 20 cm off the ground
When unloading and moving the device, use a forklift with forks long enough to support the entire
length of the base. Otherwise, the forks should be long enough to support at least ¾ of said depth.The
forks must be flat and supported firmly by the base. Raise the device by placing the forks underneath
the profile that supports the device. (Figure 2).
There might be an offset in the centre of gravity from the centre of the cabinet,
as a result of the uneven distribution of loads inside the device. The necessary
precautions must be taken to prevent the device from tipping over during abrupt
operations.
Figure 2: Unloading with a forklift.
When unpacking the device, pay attention to prevent damaging the device if you are using cutting
tools, such as cutters, scissors or knives.
The SVGm devices cabinet type, there are also 4 rings (diameter : 28 mm) in the top panel so that they
can be transported by a crane. The top panel is inverted, but the rings are mounted, to enable it to be
transported without any prior set-up required. The angle of the cables must be greater than 45º

1.3.- STORAGE
The device should be stored according to the following recommendations:
Avoid placing them on uneven surfaces.
 Do not store them in outdoor areas, humid areas or areas exposed to splashing water.
Avoid hot spots (maximum ambient temperature: 50ºC)
Avoid salty and corrosive environments.
 Avoid storing the devices in areas where a lot of dust is generated or where the risk of chem-
ical or other types of contamination is present.
