8.9.2 Return of
Equipment
The gaussmeter is packaged to protect it during shipment.
The user should retain any shipping carton(s) in which equipment is originally received, in
the event that any equipment needs to be returned.
If original packaging is not available, a minimum of 76.2 mm (3 in) of shock absorbent
packing material should be placed snugly on all sides of the instrument in a sturdy
corrugated cardboard box. Please use reasonable care when removing the
gaussmeter from its protective packaging and inspect it carefully for damage. If it
shows any sign of damage, please file a claim with the carrier immediately. Do not
destroy the shipping container; it will be required by the carrier as evidence to
support claims. Call Lake Shore for return and repair instructions.
All equipment returns must be approved by a member of the Lake Shore Service
Department. The service engineer will use the information provided in the service
request form and will issue an RMA. This number is necessary for all returned
equipment. It must be clearly indicated on both the shipping carton(s) and any
correspondence relating to the shipment. Once the RMA has been approved, you will
receive appropriate documents and instructions for shipping the equipment to
Lake Shore.
