3.0 DELIVERY

This section should be read by all users of Vibrating Wire Settlement Systems
manufactured by Geosense

3.1 Packaging

Geosense
appropriately packed for transportation to site. Packaging is suitably robust to allow
normal handling by transportation companies. However, 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 to Geosense

3.2 Handling

Whilst they are a robust devices, Geosense
Systems are precision measuring devices. They and their associated equipment
should always be handled with care during transportation, storage and installation.
Once the shipment has been checked (see below), it is recommended that
Settlement Systems remain in their original packaging for storage or further
transportation.
Cable and tubing should be handled with care. Do not allow them to be damaged by
sharp edges (rocks for example) and do not exert force on them as this may damage
the internal conductors or cause leaks and rendering the instruments useless.
3.3 Inspection/functionality
Only COPIES of calibration certificates should be taken to site
It is vital 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 that are detailed on the documents are included in the shipment.
Check that the equipment has not been physically damaged.
If components are missing or damaged, contact the delivery company or Geosense.
Although the system is not connected to the reservoir, a functional check can still be
carried out by connecting the VW Sensor Cable to a VW Readout, typically as in
picture.
Prior to carrying out function checks, ensure that the Settlement System has been
stored in a 'reasonably stable' temperature for at least 2 hours.
