WARNING
Do not under any circumstances ship the analyzer from September to May
without the warm packs. Failure to use the warm packs may damage the
analyzer and you will be charged for any repairs.
Repackaging the Analyzer for Shipment
1. Activate two Warm Packs by opening the outer plastic package.
Exposure to air will initiate the chemical reactions and supply heat for
20 hours.
2. Tape the activated Warm Packs to the inside of the plastic analyzer
bag. Tape should be placed on the edges of the packs. Tape should
not cover the center of the packs.
3. Insert the analyzer in the plastic analyzer bag containing the Warm
Packs and secure with tape.
4. Install the white plastic analyzer supports on the front and back side
of the analyzer. These supports have cut outs for the analyzer feet
and handle and should fit securely on the analyzer. For the front
panel, position the analyzer handle towards the top of the analyzer so
that it fits in the cut-out on the plastic support.
5. Place the analyzer in the shipping box. Place the brown cardboard
spacer on top of the analyzer and secure the box with packing tape.
Use a marker to write the R.A. # in large letters on the top and sides
of the box.
6. Ship the analyzer using an overnight courier (e.g., Federal Express or
UPS).
Failure to use an overnight service between September and May will result in
damage to the analyzer due to cold temperatures. The heat packs are only
effective for twenty hours; therefore, overnight service is required to avoid
damage to the analyzer.
Coordinate with an Ionics Instruments representative for international
shipments to ensure quick passage through customs.
