Packing List and have it signed by the shipper’s agent prior to accepting the shipment. Submit damage claim to MRU immediately. NOTE: Damage claims not received by MRU within 3 days of receipt of shipment will not be accepted. Important notice! This high quality electronic analyzer utilizes batteries that discharge even when the analyzer is not in use.
1.1. The company MRU GmbH Your analyzer is produced by the MRU GmbH in Neckarsulm Germany (founded in 1984), a medium sized company that specializes in developing, producing and marketing high quality emission monitoring analyzers. MRU GmbH produces a wide range of instruments, from standard analyzers up to tailor made industrial analyzers.
Electrochemical sensors are by their operating principle not only sensitive to the gas they are intended for, but for other gases as well. This cross sensitivity is compensated by MRU for the typical application of flue gas analysis. However, unusual high concentration levels of single gas components might lead to a reduced measurement accuracy of other gas components and to a temporary change of the sensitivity of sensors, which may require several hours recovery time.
1.5. Packing Packing regulation of 12.07.1991 If your local waste facility does not except MRU packing materials for disposal, you may return it to MRU or our local sales representative. Packing materials returned to MRU must be returned prepaid. 1.6.
