Troubleshooting
Returning an Analyzer for Service

Packaging the Instrument

Use original packaging or comparable. It is best to pack the unit in the original
factory packaging materials if they are available.
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 analyzer louvers, blocking airflow.

follows:

papers.
Notes
The carton must be both large enough and strong
enough to accommodate the analyzer. A
double-walled, corrugated cardboard carton with 159
kg (350 lb) bursting strength is adequate. Allow at
least 3 to 4 inches on all sides of the analyzer for
packing material.
If packing foam is not available, the best alternative is
plastic bubble-pak. This material looks like a plastic
sheet filled with 1-1/4 inch air bubbles. Use the
pink-colored bubble which reduces static electricity.
Wrapping the equipment several times in this material
should both protect the equipment and prevent it from
moving in the carton.
