Users Manual

Fluke has found that corrugated cardboard boxes provide the best packaging exterior.
The box must have an impact rating of 275 lb and be of double-walled construction.
This type of box will sustain most types of damages incurred during the shipping and
handling process, but ensures that the contents remain intact and damage-free. The foam
cradle ensures that a minimum of 3 inches of foam separates the inner surface of the box
and any portion of the Calibrator.
W
Caution
Wood or metal boxes do not absorb shock when dropped and;
therefore, are not recommended.
If the original packaging and shipping materials have been retained, use them for packing
the Calibrator. If the Calibrator is being packed for long-term storage (more than 30 days),
place a desiccant bag inside the box.
The Calibrator must be prepared for shipment in the following manner:
1.
Fluke has an RMA procedure in place. Please contact the Customer Service Center to
obtain an RMA number prior to returning any equipment to Fluke. Have the
following information available when contacting Fluke:
•
the part number,
•
the serial number,
•
the purchase order number,
•
the billing and ship to address, and
•
the buyer’s name and telephone number.
This information plus the RMA number must be attached to the unit when it is shipped to
Fluke Calibration. There will be a minimal charge for inspection and/or evaluation of
returned goods.
2.
Enclose the Calibrator in plastic or any good water barrier material. Antistatic
material is recommended.
3. If the original shipping carton is not usable or available, use a double-walled
corrugated carton with a 275-lb rating. The recommended carton size is
25 1/2 x 19 1/2 x 12 3/8 inches.
4. Insert one foam cradle from the original shipment onto the floor of the box.
(The original foam cradles are of the same type of construction and are completely
interchangeable.) If the foam cradles are not available, cover the bottom and sides
with no less than 3 inches of N–95 foam strips. Arrange the strips in the
configuration illustrated in 7-1.
5. Before sealing the carton, include the following:
•
Statement of the problem or service needed. Be specific. Include the name and
telephone number of a knowledgeable technician for consultation.
•
The part number, serial number, return address, and purchase order number.
6. Seal the carton using gummed tape.
