Electronic and electro-mechanical units
Beware of the dangers of Electro-Static Discharge
(ESD) both to yourself and to the equipment, when
handling electronic units and components. Refer to the
precautions starting on page 145.
Electronic and electro-mechanical units will normally be
wrapped in a clear plastic bag. Lift the unit, in its bag, out of the
carton and place it in a stable position on the floor/work bench.
Inspect the unit for damage before opening the plastic bag.
Cables must never be used as carrying handles or lifting points.
Do not break the seal to open a circuit board package before the
board is to be used. If the board package is returned to the
manufacturers with the seal broken, the contents will be
assumed to have been used and the customer will be billed
accordingly.
Assuming all is well, open the bag and remove the unit.
Open the unit and check inside. Remove any packing and
desiccant material that may be inside.
Mechanical units
Mechanical units may be heavy. Using a suitably certified lifting
apparatus, lift the unit out of the crate and place it in a stable
position on the floor/work bench.
Inspect the unit for damage and remove any packing material
that may be inside the unit.
Transducers
Transducers may be supplied mounted to a hull unit (if any), or
packed separately. Crates are normally identified by the order
number and the serial number.
The transducer face must be protected by a rigid, padded cover
(e.g. a wooden box lined with foam rubber) all the time it is
exposed to the risk of physical damage.
Once the units are unpacked, great care must be taken to ensure
that transducers and cabling are not exposed to any mechanical
stress. Never lift the transducers by the transducer cable.
