Unpacking Electronic And Electromechanical Units - Kongsberg EM 712 Maintenance Manual

Unpacking electronic and electromechanical units

Prior to installation or use, electronic and electromechanical units must be unpacked
from their transport boxes. It is important that unpacking is done without inflicting
damage to the equipment.
Context
Electronic and electromechanical units are normally wrapped in clear antistatic plastic
bags.
Do not break the seal to open a printed circuit board, an electronic module or a unit
before it shall be used. If the unit is returned with a broken seal we will assume that it
has been used. You will then be billed accordingly.
Note
Beware of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)!
When you handle electronic circuit boards and modules, you must beware of the dangers
of electrostatic discharge (ESD), both to yourself and to the equipment. In order to
ensure safe transport and storage, circuit boards and other electronic units will always
be wrapped in a clear plastic protective bag, and the bag will be sealed.
Procedure
1 Lift the unit, in its protective bag, out of the transport box.
Note
You must never use the cables to lift or carry a unit.
2 Place it in a stable position on the floor or on the workbench.
3 Inspect the unit for damage.
a If a unit has been damaged, prepare an inspection report stating the condition
of the unit and actions taken.
b Describe the damage, and collect photographic evidence if possible. Return
the inspection report to Kongsberg Maritime as soon as possible.
4 Assuming all is well, open the bag and remove the unit.
5 Take out and keep the documentation.
You will need the documentation if the item shall be returned to us.
6 If applicable, open the unit and check inside.
7 Remove any packing and desiccant material that may be found inside the shipping
container or bag.
