4.0 DELIVERY

This section should be read by all users of IPI's manufactured by Geosense

4.1 Packaging

®
Geosense IPI's 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

Whilst they are a robust devices, Geosense
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 IPI's
remain in their original packaging for storage or onward 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 may damage
the internal conductors and could render an installation useless.
4.3 Inspection / functionality check readings
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.

Wherever possible, it is suggested that the IPI's should be functionally checked soon
after arrival to ensure they have not been damaged during transportation. This is a
basic 'out of the box' functional check. Ensure that the IPI's have been stored in a
reasonably stable temperature for at least 60 minutes prior to carrying out a functional
check. To carry out the check, follow the steps detailed in Section 6 of this manual.
