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.
You can repackage the analyzer with commercially available materials, as
follows:

Notes
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.
