Packaging your RA
If for some reason you need to return your equipment to the factory.
Original Container or equivalent is required to provide at least the same amount of
protection that was given when the item was shipped to you from our facilities.
All items need proper protection during the shipping from point to point. The biggest
cause of damage during shipping is loose items shifting and colliding with each other or
the sides of the container. A properly packaged item should be able to withstand the
impact of a fall from approximately five feet.
Do not mix lightweight items or fragile items with heavy or bulky items in the same carton.
(Styrofoam peanuts do not afford protection for heavy items. Peanuts have a tendency to
shift during transit. Heavy items migrate to the bottom or one side of container leaving no
protection for the item.)
Items should be wrapped prior to packaging.
Items should be protected by at least 3”s on all sides and fix immobile.
All electronic boards should be protected from static by being wrapped in anti-static
material.
All packages we receive should be free of loose bolts, nuts, screws, or anything that can
knock about and cause damage to your item.
The floor stand should be disassembled as much as possible into major components and
wrapped in bubble wrap or comparable protective wrapping. (card board is an abrasive
material and will actually rub the finish off, avoid the use of cardboard as a wrapping)
Software can be packed in a protective envelope and secured away from items that may
cause the disks to be crushed.
The flashing beacon should be clean and wrapped in at least two inches of bubble wrap
or comparable protective padding. One layer of padding should line the bottom of the
carton. A layer around the entire contents and one layer on the top will ensure extra
protection.
Outer container should be identified with the RA number and customer name.
Items not properly packaged and damaged during shipment become the responsibility of
the sender.
