90 X-Series EMI Receiver Getting Started Guide
Troubleshooting
Returning an EMI Receiver for Service
Packaging the Instrument
Use original packaging or comparable. It is best to pack the unit in the original
factory packaging materials if they are available.
You can repackage the analyzer with commercially available materials, as
follows:
Analyzer damage can result from using packaging materials other than those
specified. Never use styrene pellets in any shape as packaging materials. They do
not adequately cushion the equipment or prevent it from shifting in the carton.
They cause equipment damage by generating static electricity and by lodging in
the analyzer louvers, blocking airflow.

Step Notes
1. Wrap the analyzer in anti-static
plastic to reduce the possibility
of damage caused by
electrostatic discharge
2. Use a strong shipping container. The carton must be both large enough and strong
enough to accommodate the analyzer. A
double-walled, corrugated cardboard carton with 159
kg (350 lb) bursting strength is adequate. Allow at
least 3 to 4 inches on all sides of the analyzer for
packing material.
3. Surround the equipment with
three to four inches of packing
material and prevent the
equipment from moving in the
carton.
If packing foam is not available, the best alternative is
plastic bubble-pak. This material looks like a plastic
sheet filled with 1-1/4 inch air bubbles. Use the
pink-colored bubble which reduces static electricity.
Wrapping the equipment several times in this material
should both protect the equipment and prevent it from
moving in the carton.
4. Seal the shipping container
securely with strong nylon
adhesive tape.
5. Mark the shipping container
“FRAGILE, HANDLE WITH
CARE” to assure careful
handling.
6. Retain copies of all shipping
papers.
