Packaging for Shipment

The HSA’s ultra-fine machined surfaces and moving parts make them vulnerable to damage caused by mishandling during shipment if they are improperly packaged. If, for any reason, you need to return an HSA to Extron, first contact Extron to obtain a return kit. The return kit, which reduces the chances of damage during shipment, includes a sturdy shipping carton and foam cut to fit the HSA (figure B-1).

Package an HSA for shipment as follows:

1. Contact the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline to obtain a return kit. Extron will send the return kit to the location you specify.

				The flanged edges of the top of the surface enclosure
				are sharp when the HSA is removed from the table.
				Exercise caution when handling to prevent personal
				injury.
				The flanged edges of the top of the surface enclosure
CAUTION				The flanged edges of the top of the surface enclosure
				are bevelled to an ultra-fine thickness of less than

0.04(4/100)" (approximately 1 mm). These edges are soft and can be easily nicked or bent. Exercise caution when handling and mounting the enclosure. Mishandling can damage the appearance of the enclosure.

2.	Disconnect all cables and remove the HSA from the table
	or desk. See “Removing and Replacing the Enclosure”,
	steps 1 through 8, in chapter 3, “Maintenance and
	Modifications”.
3.	Remove any AAPs by unscrewing the nuts on the rear of
	the panel that fasten the plates to the faceplate (figure B-2).
