3.2 Function description
The device is mounted in a secure position on goods being transported to
record, for example, acceleration values during the transport via sensors. As
soon as any set limit values are exceeded, the data is stored permanently
and the limit violation is displayed on the device. In this way, any harmful
loads on the transported goods during transport can be detected in good
time. The progression of the transportation can be visualized. Monitored
goods can include: heavy loads, such as power transformers, generators,
satellites, paper rolls, etc.
3.3 Versions
The device is made up of a weather-resistant, impact-resistant polymer
housing with thermoplastic protectors. It is available in the following ver-
sions:

4 Packaging, transport and storage
179121348/00 EN
4.1 Purpose
The packaging is designed to protect the packaged product during transport,
loading, unloading and during periods of storage in such a way that no detri-
mental changes occur. The packaging must protect the goods against per-
mitted transport stresses such as vibration, knocks and moisture (rain, snow,
condensation).
The packaging also prevents the packaged goods from moving impermissi-
bly within the packaging.
4.2 Suitability, structure and production
The goods are packaged in a sturdy cardboard box or solid wooden crate.
These ensure that the shipment is secure when in the intended transporta-
tion position and that none of its parts touch the loading surface of the
means of transport or touch the ground after unloading.
Inlays inside the box or crate stabilize the goods, preventing impermissible
changes of position and protecting them from vibration.
4.3 Markings
The packaging bears a signature with instructions for safe transport and cor-
rect storage. The following symbols apply to the shipment of non-hazardous
goods. Adherence to these symbols is mandatory.

moisture

Table3: Shipping pictograms
4.4 Transportation, receipt and handling of shipments
In addition to vibrations, jolts must also be expected during transportation. In
order to prevent possible damage, avoid dropping, tipping, knocking over
and colliding with the product.
Should the packaging tip over or fall, damage is to be expected regardless of
the weight.

4 Packaging, transport and storage
18 9121348/00 EN
Every delivered shipment must be checked for the following by the recipient
before acceptance (acknowledgment of receipt):
▪ Completeness based on the delivery slip
▪ External damage of any kind.
The checks must take place after unloading, when the box or transport con-
tainer can be accessed from all sides.
Visible damage
If externally visible transport damage is detected upon receipt of the ship-
ment, proceed as follows:
▪ Immediately record the transport damage found in the shipping docu-
ments and have this countersigned by the deliverer.
▪ In the event of severe damage, total loss or high damage costs, immedi-
ately notify the sales department at Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH
and the relevant insurance company.
▪ After identifying damage, do not modify the condition of the shipment fur-
ther and retain the packaging material until an inspection decision has
been made by the transport company or the insurance company.
▪ Record the details of the damage on-site immediately with the transport
company involved. This is essential for any claim for damages!
▪ If possible, photograph damage to packaging and packaged goods. This
also applies to signs of corrosion on the packaged goods due to moisture
(rain, snow, condensation) infiltrating the packaging.
▪ Make sure you also check the sealed packaging.
Hidden damage
In the event of damage that is not detected until unpacking after receipt of
the shipment (hidden damage), proceed as follows:
▪ Make the party potentially responsible for the damage liable as soon as
possible by telephone and in writing, and prepare a damage report.
▪ Observe the time periods applicable to such actions in the respective
country. Inquire about these in good time.
With hidden damage, it is very hard to make the transportation company (or
other responsible party) liable. Any insurance claims for such damage can
be successful only if relevant provisions are expressly included in the insur-
ance terms and conditions.

4 Packaging, transport and storage
199121348/00 EN
4.5 Storage of shipments
When selecting and setting up the storage location, ensure the following:
▪ Store the product and accessories in the original packaging until installa-
tion.
▪ Protect stored goods against moisture (rain, flooding, water from melting
snow and ice), dirt, pests such as rats, mice, termites etc. and against
unauthorized access.
▪ Store crates and boxes on pallets, timber beams or planks as protection
against ground moisture and for improved ventilation.
▪ Ensure that the foundation has sufficient load-bearing capacity.
▪ Keep entrance paths clear.
▪ Check the stored goods at regular intervals. Also take appropriate action
after storms, heavy rain or snow etc.
4.6 Further transport
Use the original product packaging for further transport.
If you transport the product to the final installation site in a mounted state,
observe the following information in order to protect the product against me-
chanical damage due to external influences.
Transport packaging requirements
▪ Select packaging suitable for the duration of transport or storage, taking
the climatic conditions into consideration.
▪ Ensure that the packaging protects the product against transport stress
such as shaking, vibrations and impacts.
▪ Ensure that the packaging protects the product against moisture such as
rain, snow and condensation.
▪ Ensure that the packaging allows for sufficient air circulation in order to
prevent the formation of condensation.

5 Commissioning
20 9121348/00 EN
