Other Packaging

Caution Spectrum analyzer damage can result from using packaging materials other than those specified. Never use styrene pellets in any shape as packaging

materials. They do not adequately cushion the equipment or prevent it from shifting in the carton. They cause equipment damage by generating static electricity and by lodging in the spectrum analyzer fan.

Repackage the spectrum analyzer in the original packaging materials or with commercially available materials described in steps 4 and 5, below.

1.Attach a completed service tag to the instrument.

2.Install the front-panel cover on the instrument.

3.Wrap the instrument in antistatic plastic to reduce the possibility of damage caused by electrostatic discharge.

4.Use the original materials or a strong shipping container that is double-walled, corrugated cardboard carton with 159 kg (350 lb) bursting strength. The carton must be both large enough and strong enough to accommodate the spectrum analyzer and allow at least

3 to 4 inches on all sides of the spectrum analyzer for packing material.

5.Surround the equipment with at least 3 to 4 inches of packing material, or enough to prevent the equipment from moving in the carton. If packing foam is unavailable, the best alternative is SD-240 Air CapTM from Sealed Air Corporation (Commerce, CA 90001). Air Cap looks like a plastic sheet covered with l-1/4 inch air-filled bubbles. Use the pink-colored Air Cap to reduce static electricity. Wrap the equipment several times in this material to both protect the equipment and prevent it from moving in the carton.

6.Seal the shipping container securely with strong nylon adhesive tape.

7.Mark the shipping container “FRAGILE, HANDLE WITH CARE” to assure careful handling.

8.Retain copies of all shipping papers.
