2.0 Inspection and Unpacking
Inspect shipping container for external damage. All claims for damage (apparent or concealed) or partial loss of shipment
must be made in writing to
Dynapar
within (5) days from receipt of goods. If damage or loss is apparent, please notify the
shipping agent immediately.
Open shipping container and locate the packing list. The packing list is included to verify that all components, accessories,
and manual were received. Please use the packing list to check off each item as the unit is unpacked. Inspect for damage.
Dynapar
recommends that the shipping container be retained for future shipping, storage, or return to factory purposes.
If any equipment was damaged in transit, be sure to file proper claims promptly with the carrier and insurance company.
Please advise
Dynapar
of such filing. In case of parts shortages, advise
Dynapar
immediately.
Dynapar
cannot be responsible for any missing parts unless notified within 60 days of shipment.
2.1 Painting Considerations
The enclosure may be painted. Please pay attention to the following considerations.
•
Do not hinder the latches on the connector if the connector is painted.
•
If the enclosure is painted before the sensor module(s) is added, be sure to mask off the area where the sensor module(s)
will be placed. The module must mate directly to the enclosure. Failure to do this will degrade the alignment of the
system and may cause it to fail.
•
Ensure excess paint runoff does not clog Enclosure drain holes.
2.2 Motor Facing and Shaft
The RIM Tach
®
8500 has been designed to be mounted on a 8.5 inch diameter 180 C Flange that meets or exceeds the NEMA
MG1-4 Standards. To prepare the motor facing and shaft for installation, perform the following steps.
Clean outer rim and surface of motor facing and shaft of paint, grease, dirt and other debris where RIM Tach
®
8500 unit
contacts motor or accessory. Also ensure that mating surfaces have not been damaged and that unit will fit squarely on
motor.
Ensure there is no paint, burrs, protrusions, or deformations on the motor facing or shaft. If the enclosure does not
fit squarely on the motor facing, the alignment between the sensor module and the magnetic pulse wheel may be
degraded.
Apply a thin layer of corrosion preventative or oil to motor facing and shaft to aid assembly and provide some corrosion
protection.
Ensure motor facing and shaft are free from
paint, burrs, protrusions, and deformations
