Packing for Return for Repair
Safety and Precautions
!
Environmental The temperature and humidity ranges shown in the specifications for these products must not be exceeded. This equipment must not be installed in an area that is subject to a corrosive atmosphere, excessive moisture or may allow water or other liquids to come into contact with the unit or its external connections.
! !
The unit must be installed away from large metallic structures.
Unpacking and Handling !
This equipment is heavy. Please lift and handle with care to avoid strain or drop injuries.
The equipment should be unpacked and inspected immediately on receipt. If damage has occurred please advise your carrier or supplier. It is advisable to retain the original equipment packing in the event that the equipment ever needs returning for service. Ensure that the name and address of the Authorised Distributor from whom you purchased the unit is recorded on the “Service and Warranty” page of this manual for future reference.
All electronics assemblies must be properly packed in ESD protective packing for transport, to prevent physical and ESD damage. Use of non-ESD protective packing for return for repair or service will automatically invalidate the warranty.
The filler material used for packing for return for repair must be antistatic or static dissipative, as this may come into contact with exposed connectors, wiring, or PCB assemblies. The use of nonconductive filler material may cause damage to the electronic assemblies reducing their operational life, or even destroying them, and it will automatically invalidate the warranty.
Advice on packing the product for return can be provided by Application Solutions Limited.
