Packing the gas analyzer
Packing
1 Remove adapters from the gas ports and tightly seal the gas ports.
2 If the original packaging is not available, wrap the gas analyzer in bubble
wrap or corrugated cardboard. When shipping overseas, additionally
shrink-wrap the gas analyzer air-tight in 0.2 mm thick polyethylene film
adding a drying agent (such as silica gel). The amount of drying agent
should be appropriate for the package volume and the expected ship-
ping duration (at least 3 months).
3 Pack the gas analyzer in an adequately sized box lined with
shock-absorbing material (foam or similar). The thickness of the
shock-absorbing material should be adequate for the weight of the gas
analyzer and the mode of dispatch. When shipping overseas, additional-
ly line the box with a double layer of bitumen paper.
4 Mark the box as "Fragile Goods".
CAUTION
When you return the gas analyzer to the service department, e.g. for re-
pair, please state which gases have been supplied to the gas analyzer.
This information is needed so that service personnel can take any requi-
site safety precautions for harmful gases.
