It
is
good
policy
to
make
sure
that
this
defluxing
operation
has
actually
removed the
flux
and has not just
smeared it
so that
it
is
less visible.
While
most rosin fluxes are not corrosive, they can slowly absorb moisture and become
sufficiently
conductive
to
cause
progressive
deterioration
of
performance.
SHIPPING
Circuit
Cards:
A circuit
card
is
best
shipped
in
the
special
Orban
Associates
INSTRUCTIONS
shipping carton used to supply loaner cards. If you wish to ship a card without this
carton, cut two pieces of 1" or thicker soft foam to 6.5" x 9" ( 17cm x 23cm) or
larger.
Sandwich
the
card
between
the
two
foam
pieces,
and
ship
the
foam
"sandwich" in a rigid cardboard carton.
A " JIFFY- BAG"
OR
SIMILAR
SOFT
MAILING
BAG
DOES
NOT
PROVIDE
SUFFICIENT
PROTECTION
FOR
THE
CARD,
AND
MUST
NOT
BE
USED!
Shipping
The Complete Chassis:
If
the
original
packing
material
is
available,
it
should
be
used.
Otherwise,
a sturdy,
double- wall
carton
of
at
least
200
pounds
bursting
test
and no smaller than 22" x 15" x 12" ( 56 x 38 x 31 cm) should be
employed.
OPTIMOD-TV
should be
packed so
that
there is
at
least
2" of packing
material
protecting every point. A plastic wrap or bag around the chassis will protect the
finish. Cushioning material such as Air- Cap, Bubble- Pak, foam " popcorn", or thick
fibre
blankets
are
acceptable.
Folded
newspaper
is
not
suitable.
Blanket- type
materials should
be
tightly
wrapped
around
OPTIMOD-TV
and
taped
in
place
to
prevent the unit from shifting out of its packing and contacting the walls of the
carton.
The
carton should be packed evenly and fully with the packing material filling all
voids such that the unit cannot shift in the carton. Test for this by closing but not
sealing the carton and shaking vigorously. If the unit can be felt or heard to move,
use
more
packing.
The
carton
should
be
well- sealed
with
3" ( 8 cm)
reinforced
fibreglass or polyester sealing tape applied across the top and bottom of the carton
in
an " H" pattern. Narrower or parcel- post type tapes will not stand the stresses
applied to commercial shipments.
The
package
should be
marked with the name of
the shipper,
and the words
in
red: DELICATE INSTRUMENTS, FRAGILE!. Even so, the freight people will throw
the
box
around
as
if
it were
filled with junk.
The survival
of
the unit
depends
almost solely on the care taken in packing!
After
a formal
Return Authorization ( RA) number
is
obtained
from
the factory,
units should be shipped to the Service Manager at the address shown on the title
page.
YOUR
RETURN AUTHORIZATION NUMBER
MUST BE
SHOWN
ON THE
LABEL,
OR THE PACKAGE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED!
INSURE YOUR SHIPMENTS APPROPRIATELY!
SHIP PREPAID -- DO NOT SHIP COLLECT!
DO NOT SHIP PARCEL POST!
(Otherwise, have a nice day.)
