Pre-installation Instructions
When the LC/MS Arrives
Inspecting the Shipping Cartons
Do not open any shipping cartons. The Varian Representative opens them during
installation.
Move the shipping cartons to a warm, dry, and secure area near the
installation site.
After the instrument arrives, carefully inspect the exterior of the shipping cartons for evidence of
any damage that could have possibly occurred during shipment. Inspect the cartons for the
following:
•
Water
stains.
•
Cuts, punctures, or deep indentations.
•
Crushed corners or excessively abraded edges.
•
Arrow point on the Tip N Tell™ indicator is blue.
•
ShockWatch® indicator tube is red.
Tip N Tell
ShockWatch
One indicator is on the
exterior. Read and follow the
instructions on the label. If the
Tip N Tell arrow point is blue,
the carton was on its side or
tipped in transit and
instrument damage may have
occurred.
One indicator is on the exterior. Read and follow the instructions on the
label. If the tube on the ShockWatch indicator is red, the carton was
dropped in transit and instrument damage may have occurred.
The instrument label may be yellow, purple, or red, depending on the
sensitivity of the instrument to impact that exceeds a specified G-level
force.
If no external damage is apparent, write “
Received but not inspected”
on the receiving
documents to indicate that the cartons were not opened.
Systems are shipped either
FOB Varian
or
FOB Destination
. The manner of shipment
determines who is responsible for filing a claim against the carrier if the system was damaged
in transit. Most systems are shipped
FOB Varian
, so any damages incurred in shipment are the
responsibility of the purchaser and the carrier. Contact the Varian office for assistance with filing
claims and billing repairs. If the system ships
FOB Destination
, contact the Varian office, and
that office will file a claim against the carrier.
