B. Obtaining Service and Returning the Instrument for Repair
If you experience problems with your instrument please contact the factory at 256-358-4202 and ask
for customer support for instrumentation. Our customer support department will assist you in
troubleshooting your instrument.
Most issues can be resolved over the phone, but in some cases it may be necessary to return your
instrument for further evaluation and repair. In this case, please obtain a Return Materials
Authorization (RMA) number from the sales person or support technician. This RMA number will
ensure that your instrument is routed to the correct department when it is received at the factory.
After receipt of an RMA number you may pack your instrument for return. Be sure to pack your
instrument in a sturdy box and to pad it sufficiently to avoid damage during transit. Also be sure to
complete the “Instrument Repair Form” on the next page and include a copy with your repair. This
will ensure that the repair department has sufficient information regarding the problems you are
experiencing with your instrument, as well as the billing, contact, and return shipping details for the
repair.

instrument securely, please ship it prepaid to the following address:
