5.7 REPACKAGING, TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
If the instrument is not in use for an extended period of time, it is important to protect it from
damage, at a minimum by covering it, but ideally by repacking it in the shipping materials
originally used to ship it to your location. Once packed, the boxes should be stored in a dry,
temperature-controlled location (see Table A-1). Also, if the instrument or its components need
to be moved from one location to another or shipped, it is important to pack it correctly to avoid
damage during transportation.
To pack the instrument, follow the instructions below as appropriate.
5.7.1 PACKING THE BASE UNIT WITH A MODULE ATTACHED
As noted in section 2.2, the base unit is initially shipped with a module attached. This is a
configuration appropriate for storage and transportation. To proceed with packing the base unit
with a module attached, proceed as follows:
1) Be sure the
flexiVent
is off (embedded display is dark, piston is not backlit).
If it is on, press the power button to turn it off.
2) Disconnect all transducers, extensions and auxiliary equipment.
3) Disconnect the Ethernet cable.
4) Disconnect the power supply.
5) Open the base unit’s protective cover and ensure that the module securing screw is not
loose.
6) Move the motor arm (to which the piston is connected) to its left-most position.
7) Unscrew the motor lock thumb screw.
8) Rotate the motor lock counter-clockwise.
9) Insert the motor lock thumb screw to engage the motor lock.
When the motor is locked, the motor arm will not move back and forth.
