STORAGE AND
SHIPMENT
The following paragraphs describe preparing the power meter for storage and
shipment.
Preparation for
Storage
Preparation of the power meter for storage consists of cleaning the unit and
packing it with moisture-absorbing desiccant crystals. Whenever the unit is
to be stored for an extended period (longer than one week), it is advisable to
remove the battery pack, if installed. Refer to Section 2-7, “Battery Charging,
Removal and Replacement,” for instructions.
Environmental
Requirements
Store the unit in a temperature controlled environment that is maintained
between –40 and +70° C, with a maximum humidity of 90% at 40° C, non-
condensing. For optimum battery life, store the battery pack at –20 to +50° C
for short periods and –20 to +35° C for long term storage.
Preparation for
Shipment
To provide maximum protection against damage in transit, the power meter
should be repackaged in the original shipping container. If this container is
no longer available and the power meter is being returned to Anritsu for re-
pair, advise your Anritsu Customer Service Center; they will send a new
shipping container free of charge. In the event neither of these two options is
possible, follow the packaging instructions below.
Use a
Suitable
Container
Obtain a corrugated cardboard carton with a 275-pound test
strength. This carton should have inside dimensions of no less
than 150 mm larger than the instrument dimensions to allow
for cushioning.
Protect the
Instrument
Wrap the instrument to protect the finish.
Cushion the
Instrument
Cushion the instrument on all sides by tightly packing dunnage
or urethane foam between the carton and the instrument. Pro-
vide at least 75 mm of dunnage on all sides.
Seal the
Container
Seal the carton using either shipping tape or an industrial
stapler.
Address the
Container
If the instrument is being returned to Anritsu for service, mark
the address of the appropriate Anritsu service center (Table
2-1), the Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number, and
your return address on the carton in a prominent location.
