10 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
Keep in mind that all mobile components of the RTK EQU Tracking System for horse racing are sensitive to stress
from impact and compressive stress. To avoid physical damage to the equipment, it is particularly important to
store and transport all components in a suitable case or box.
Observe the following precautions when storing the components:
- Store the components in a dry place
- Prevent exposing the components to temperatures that exceed 40°C
- Use a suitable case for storing the equipment
- EQTracker can be store directly in the charging case.
- Observe the additional instructions for battery-powered devices as set out below (see chapter 10.1)
For transportation it is recommended to appropriately label the appointed carrying cases with packaging symbols
similar to the following pictures.
10.1 Battery Care and Storage
The EQTracker contain a Li-ion battery pack and should be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area, and
should be far from the fire and the high temperature. Choose a location with a fire extinguisher in direct reach.
This is strongly advised since all lithium-polymer batteries have a potential risk to overheat and even ignite when
physically damaged or short-circuited.
The best storage temperature is 25±5 ℃. The best humidity is 60±15 %. The battery should be stored within
room temperature and charged to 40 % till 60 % electric quantity (3.85 V).
In order to avoid over-discharge, we suggest charge and discharge the batteries every three months. Then charge
to 40 % till 60 % electric quantity (3.85 V).
