4.0 DELIVERY

This section should be read by all users of the GeoLogger Linx.

4.1 Packaging

®
Geosense GeoLoggers are packed for transportation to site. Packaging is suitably
robust to allow normal handling by transportation companies. Inappropriate handling
techniques may cause damage to the packaging and the enclosed equipment. The
packaging should be carefully inspected upon delivery and any damage MUST be
reported to both the transportation company and Geosense

4.2 Handling

®
Geosense GeoLoggers are precision measuring instruments. They and their
associated equipment should always be handled with care during transportation,
storage and installation.
Once the shipment has been inspected ( see below ), it is recommended that
®
Geosense GeoLoggers remain in their original packaging for storage or
transportation.
Cable should also be handled with care. Do not allow it to be damaged by sharp
edges, rocks for example, and do not exert force on the cable as this my damage the
internal conductors and could render the installation useless.
DO NOT DROP AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO INTERNAL COMPONENTS

4.3 Inspection

It is important to check all the equipment in the shipment as soon as possible after
taking delivery and well before installation is to be carried out. Check that all the
components detailed on the documents are included in the shipment. Check that the
equipment has not been physically damaged.

4.4 Storage

®
Geosense GeoLoggers contain electronics and batteries and whilst they are
designed for outside use and mounted within a waterproof (IP66) enclosure the
internal circuit board can be affected by excessive moisture, dust and temperature.
When not in use they should be stored in a cool, dry location.
The units are battery powered and therefore should be disconnected if not in use to
avoid discharging.
