SECTION III
UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION
3
SHIPMENT CONTENTS
The Model 1140A is shipped from the factory with a power cord, a CD that contains the
instruction manual, a calibration report, a certificate of conformance, and the attendant packing
slip. Optional components such as a remote interface or battery will be installed in the unit.
UNPACKING
The Model 1140A was thoroughly test and inspected prior to shipment from the factory; unless it
was damaged in transit, it should be ready for use upon receipt.
The shipping carton should be examined for signs of damage before unpacking. If external
damage is seen, notify the carrier before proceeding.
Remove the contents of the carton and carefully examine all contents for any evidence of
damage due to excessive shock, vibration, water, etc. If there is evidence of physical damage,
notify the carrier.
Account for the items listed above and ensure that the serial number of the Model 1140A in the
carton is that which is listed on the packing slip. If the inventory is not complete or does not
correspond to the packing list, notify Ectron Corporation.
MODEL 1140A INSTALLATION
The battery (if any) in the Model 1140A is fully charged when shipped, but due to transit time or
other delays it may have lost some charge by the time of first use. To ensure a full battery charge,
plug the unit into ac power for three hours prior to running it on battery power.
While the Model 1140A is fully calibrated using standards that are directly traceable to the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the user may want to verify its
performance against independent standards using the calibration procedure in this manual before
placing it in service.
PACKING FOR SHIPMENT
Ectron Corporation ships each Model 1140A wrapped in a 4-mil static-protective plastic wrapper
in a single-wall corrugated cardboard carton with foam-in-place protection. The carton measures
18 inches by 18 inches by 8 inches. When preparing the unit for shipment, either reuse the
container in which it came or reproduce a similar shipping container with a like amount of foam
(either closed-cell or open-cell) protection.
