Bottom line- do not allow anything to sit in your warehouse for 30+ days, you may eat defective gear. I do believe and always have, that this is good practice for FPDs, AVRs, and others- but never thought to do it for control systems. My bad...
This is so bizarre to me. I did warranty work for many, many home electronics manufacturers for 20+ years, and the prospect of unboxing every product to pre-test within 30 days is an unbelievable time drain and overhead expense. Mfrs always used invoice date as date of purchase and things worked smoothly. Bizarre days we live in.
