1.3 Delivery information
When you receive the shipment, please check the following:
1. The packaging is not damaged.
2. Both indicators labels which are fixed on the package should display
the white color as a sign for proper transportation.
The package of the analyzer is posted with one so-called
“shockwatch” indicator label and one “tilt watch” indicator label. Both
labels change their color from white to red in case of improper
handling by the forwarder regarding tilts and shocks.
Note!
In case one of the indicator labels is red or both, note it on bill of lading,
inspect the shipment for damage and inform AMA Instruments within 10
days after arrival at latest.
The scope of delivery is corresponding to the relevant purchase contract
and is shown on the documents enclosed with the shipment:
3. Open the packaging and check whether the shipment is complete.
4. Check the serial number on the type plate with the serial number
specified in the shipping documents.
5. The operating manual is delivered on CD-ROM and recorded on the PC
of the analyzer as well.
Note!
Do not throw the original packaging away: A saver shipment is guaranteed
while using the original purpose-made packaging (it contains foamed
plastic inserts which are adapted to the size of the analyzer). Therefore we
recommend the storage of the original packaging.
6. First visual check-up of the analyzer:
When unpacking the system, remove the cover and have a closer look
to the interior of the analyzer. The following checklist may be of help:
All parts are fixed
Check additionally if the plug in card and the riser card are fixed
properly (optional installation)
Remove the cover of the GC oven and make a sight check of the
column
In case the column is broken, follow the instruction of chapter 13.3.4
- how to cut and repair a capillary column in the right way.
