Installation
Introduction
Precautions
Follow the instructions in this document for
proper installation of your Sepam™ unit:
b Equipment identification
b Assembly
b Connecting current, voltage, and sensor
inputs
b Power supply connection
b Checking prior to commissioning
Handling, Transport, and Storage
Sepam™ in its Original Packaging
Transport:
Sepam™ can be shipped to any destination by all usual means of transport without
taking any additional precautions.
Handling:
Normal handling procedures apply to Sepam™. Under normal care Sepam™ can
withstand being dropped by a person standing at floor-level.
Storage:
You can store Sepam™ in its original packaging in an appropriate location (preferably
a cool, dry environment) for several years. Keep the original packaging as long as
possible. Sepam™, like all electronic units, cannot be stored in damp environments
for more than a month. Storage characteristics are as follows:
b Temperature from –25°C to +70°C ( –13°F to +158°F)
b Humidity ≤ 90%.
Annual periodic inspections of the environment and equipment are recommended.
Sepam™ should be placed into service as soon as possible after it has been
unpacked.
Sepam™ Installed in a Cubicle
Transport:
Transport Sepam™ by normal means. Monitor storage conditions for long periods of
transport.
Handling:
Visually inspect for damage and test Sepam™ if the unit is dropped.
Storage:
Store Sepam™ in a cool, dry environment. If damp conditions exist, place it into
service and energize as soon as possible. If this is not possible, cubicle storage
conditions must be modified.
Environment of the Installed Sepam™
Operation in a Damp Environment
Temperature and relative humidity factors must be compatible with the unit’s
environmental operating and storage characteristics. If conditions for use fall outside
the normal operating range of the equipment, make all special arrangements
necessary to manage and control Sepam™’s operating environment prior to
commissioning.
Operation in a Contaminated Atmosphere
A contaminated industrial atmosphere (such as the presence of chlorine, hydrofluoric
acid, sulfur, solvents) can corrode electronic components. Sepam™ is certified Level
C according to IEC 60068-2-60 standard under the following test conditions:
b 2-gas test: 21 days, 25°C (77°F), 75% relative humidity, 0.5 ppm H

Environmental control arrangements should be made (such as pressurized premises
with filtered air, etc.) as necessary before commissioning.
