General Information
Returning Instruments for Service
4. Use the original materials or a strong shipping container that is
double-walled, corrugated cardboard carton with 159 kg (350 lb)
bursting strength. The carton must be both large enough and strong
enough to accommodate the spectrum analyzer and allows at least 3
to 4 inches on all sides of the spectrum analyzer for packing
material.
5. Surround the equipment with at least 3 to 4 inches of packing
material, or enough to prevent the equipment from moving in the
carton. If packing foam is unavailable, the best alternative is SD-240
Air Cap™ from Sealed Air Corporation (Commerce, CA 90001). Air
Cap looks like a plastic sheet covered with 1-1/4 inch air-filled
bubbles. Use the pink-colored Air Cap to reduce static electricity.
Wrap the equipment several times in this material to both protect
the equipment and prevent it from moving in the carton.
6. Seal the shipping container securely with strong nylon adhesive
tape.
7. Mark the shipping container "FRAGILE, HANDLE WITH CARE" to
assure careful handling.
8. Retain copies of all shipping papers.
