Unpack the Mass Flow Meter

CAUTION: Some of the IC devices used in the FMA1700A & FMA1800A are
Electro Static Discharge (ESD) sensitive and may be damaged by improper
handling. When wiring interface connector, adjusting or servicing the meter,
use of a grounded ESD protection wrist strap is required to prevent inadvertent
damage to the CMOS integral solid state circuitry. When 9 pin Interface
D-connector is not used do not remove factory installed ESD protection cover.
Open the carton carefully from the top and inspect for any sign of concealed ship-
ping damage. In addition to contacting the shipping carrier please forward a copy
of any damage report to OMEGA7 directly.
When unpacking the instrument please make sure that you have all the items
indicated on the Packing List. Please report any shortages promptly.
