TDS 620A, 640A, & 644A User Manual
Appendix C: Packaging for Shipment
If you ship the digitizing oscilloscope, pack it in the original shipping carton
and packing material. If the original packing material is not available, package
the instrument as follows:
1. Obtain a corrugated cardboard shipping carton with inside dimensions at
least 15 cm (6 in) taller, wider, and deeper than the digitizing oscilloscope.
The shipping carton must be constructed of cardboard with 170 kg (375
pound) test strength.
2. If you are shipping the digitizing oscilloscope to a Tektronix field office for
repair, attach a tag to the digitizing oscilloscope showing the instrument
owner and address, the name of the person to contact about the instru-
ment, the instrument type, and the serial number.
3. Wrap the digitizing oscilloscope with polyethylene sheeting or equivalent
material to protect the finish.
4. Cushion the digitizing oscilloscope in the shipping carton by tightly pack-
ing dunnage or urethane foam on all sides between the carton and the
digitizing oscilloscope. Allow 7.5 cm (3 in) on all sides, top, and bottom.
5. Seal the shipping carton with shipping tape or an industrial stapler.
NOTE
Do not ship the
digitizing oscilloscope
with a disk inside the disk
drive (optional on TDS 620A & TDS 640A). When the disk is inside
the drive, the disk release button sticks out. This makes the button
more prone to damage than otherwise.
