3. Equipment Inspection
When you receive your order, check all equipment for:
• Completeness against the shipping document / purchase order
• For any evidence of shipping damage.
Shortages or damage should be reported immediately to the carrier and your Pulsafeeder Representative.
4. Storage Instructions
The MPC VECTOR can be successfully stored for extended periods. The key to this success is temperature and
humidity control.
4.1 Short Term (0 - 12 months)
The MPC VECTOR should be stored in a temperature and humidity controlled environment. It is preferable
to keep the temperature constant in the range of -18° to 60° Celsius (0° to 140° Fahrenheit). The relative
humidity should be 0 to 90% non-condensing.
4.2 Long Term (12 months or more)
Storage of the MPC VECTOR for periods of longer than twelve months is not recommended. If extended
storage is unavoidable the MPC VECTOR should be stored in accordance with those conditions stipulated
for Short Term Storage. In addition, a porous bag of 85g (3 oz) silica gel or similar desiccant should be
placed inside the enclosure. The cover should be re-installed to seal the desiccant within the enclosure. The
conduit connections must be tightly capped.
Special note for long-term storage:
If AC input power has not been applied to the MPC VECTOR for a period greater than 12 months, the
controller must be prepared for operation. The MPC VECTOR should have AC power applied at the input
for a period of 8 hours before placing pump into normal operation. Refer to Installation and Wiring section
for AC power connection instructions.
