Unpacking Electronic And Electromechanical Units; Unpacking Mechanical Units - Simrad ES70 - INSTALLATION REV A Installation Manual

Simrad ES70
1 Check the carton before opening it to ensure it shows no signs of dropping,
immersion in water or other mishandling. If the carton shows signs of such damage,
refer to the paragraph covering Inspection on receipt.
2 Place the carton on a stable work bench or on the floor with the top of the carton
uppermost.
3 In the absence of other instructions, always open the top of the carton first. The
contents will normally have been lowered into the carton from above, so this will
usually be the easiest route to follow. Care must be used when opening the carton to
ensure the contents are not damaged. Do not use a knife to open cardboard cartons
4 If the carton has been closed using staples, remove the staples from the carton as
you open it. This will reduce the possibilities of scratch injury to yourself and
damage to the contents.
If a wooden crate has been closed using screws, always remove them using a
5
screwdriver. Do not attempt to prise the lid off with a crowbar or similar.
6 Once the carton is open, carefully remove all loose packing and insulation material.
Check for manuals and other documents that may have been added to the carton
during packing, and put these to one side. Check also for special tools, door keys etc.

Unpacking electronic and electromechanical units

Electronic and electromechanical units will normally be wrapped in a clear plastic
bag. Lift the unit, in its bag, out of the carton and place it in a stable position on the
floor/work bench.
Inspect the unit for damage before opening the plastic bag.
Note
Beware of the dangers of Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) both to yourself and to the
equipment, when handling electronic units and components.
Cables must never be used as carrying handles or lifting points.
Do not break the seal to open a circuit board package before the board is to be used. If
the board package is returned to the manufacturer with the seal broken, the contents will
be assumed to have been used and the customer will be billed accordingly.
Assuming all is well, open the bag and remove the unit.
Open the unit and check inside. Remove any packing and desiccant material that may
be inside.

Unpacking mechanical units

Mechanical units may be heavy. Using a suitably certified lifting apparatus, lift the unit
out of the crate and place it in a stable position on the floor/work bench.
Inspect the unit for damage and remove any packing material that may be inside the unit.
