Storage and Repackaging
Follow the instructions in this section if, for any reason, it is necessary to repackage, store,
or ship your power meter.
Preparation for Storage
Prepare the power meter for storage by cleaning the unit and packing it with moisture-
absorbing desiccant crystals.
Environmental Requirements
Store the unit in a temperature controlled environment that is maintained between -40 and
+70 degrees C, with a maximum humidity of 90% at 40 degrees C, non-condensing.
Preparation for Shipment
1. 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 obtain a corrugated cardboard carton with a 125 kg (275 pound) test
strength. This carton should have inside dimensions of no less than six inches larger
than the instrument dimensions to allow for cushioning.
2. Wrap the instrument to protect the finish.
3. Cushion the instrument on all sides by tightly packing dunnage or urethane foam
between the carton and the instrument. Provide at least three inches of dunnage on
all sides.
4. Seal the carton using either shipping tape or an industrial stapler.
5. If the instrument is being returned to Anritsu for service, mark the address of the
appropriate Anritsu service center (refer to the address at the back of this manual),
the Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number, and your return address on the
carton in a prominent location.
Rack Mounting
The ML248xA / ML249xA can be ordered with rack mounting hardware that allows the
instrument to be mounted into a standard 19-inch equipment rack. There are two rack
mount option kits available.
The ML2400A-01 Rack Mount option allows the installation of a single ML248xA /
ML249xA in either the left or right side rack position.
The ML2400A-03 Rack Mount option allows side-by-side mounting of two ML248xA /
ML249xA Test Sets.
