Storage
Follow these guidelines when handling and storing
IntelliRupter fault interrupters in their shipping crates:
1. Storage temperature for IntelliRupter fault
interrupters, the communication module, and control
module: –40°C (-40°F)to +60°C (140°F).
2. The communication module, control module, and
optional external power supply are shipped in water-
resistant containers placed inside a plastic bag. This
provides protection from the elements during shipping.
After receipt, they must be stored indoors.
Storing the communication module, control module,
and optional external power outside will void the
warranty.
3. Communication modules other than option suffix
“-C0” contain a battery that must be charged within 6
months of shipment from the factory. Communication
modules that will be stored for an extended period
should have the battery removed and placed on float
charge.
4. Installing a communication module that has a battery
in an IntelliRupter fault interrupter that will not be
energized for a day or more can lead to excessive battery
discharge. If the IntelliRupter fault interrupter will
be installed and left de-energized, remove the
communication module and install the protective
cover, or unplug the battery and reinstall the
communication module.
5. Shipping crates should not be stored in an area prone to
flooding or where water can accumulate more than
2 inches (5.1 cm) deep.
6. Shipping crates should NOT be stacked more than two
high for storage.
NOTICE
The communication module, control module, and
optional external power must be stored inside.
Storing them outside will void the warranty.

4. File a claim with the carrier.
If concealed damaged is discovered:
1. Notify the delivering carrier within 15 days of receipt of
shipment.
2. Ask for a carrier inspection.
3. File a claim with the carrier.
Also notify S&C Electric Company in all instances of
loss and/or damage.
