Selecting the Location FlowSorb III
Failure to package your instrument properly may result in shipping damage.
2. Tag or identify the defective equipment, noting the defect and circumstances,
if any, under which the defect is observed.
3. Reference the sales order or purchase order, and provide the date that the
equipment was received.
4. Notify the Micromeritics Service Department of the defect and request ship-
ping instructions. The service department will assign a Returned Materials
Authorization (RMA) number. Write the RMA number on the outside of the
shipping carton.
Selecting the Location
The instrument performs best in a regulated temperature environment. It should
be installed on a workbench 75 to 90 cm (30 to 36 in.) high in a location free of
drafts from either a forced-air heating or cooling system. It should not be located
near a window through which sunlight may periodically fall.
A square meter (10 ft
2
) of free space to one side at least and a few centimeters
to the rear of the instrument should be provided for working space. Ready access
to an analytical balance capable of weighing to 1 mg and a drying oven, prefer-
ably a vacuum oven, for sample preparation is advantageous. Space near the in-
strument in which to mount securely the appropriate gas cylinder, or cylinders, is
also required.
