3.2 Unpacking and Climatization
After receiving the HI6800 Series Application Controller, perform the following steps to
ensure that it and other contents arrived safely.
1. Inspect the outer shipping container for any damage that may have occurred in shipping.
Report any sign of damage to the appropriate shipping agency.
2. Remove the HI6800 Series Application Controller components and cables from the
shipping container.
3. Save the shipping container, foam, and antistatic bags in case the HI6800 Series
Application Controller must be returned. Returning the HI6800 Series Application
Controller in any other container is not advised.
4. Check the contents against the items referenced on the packing list. If any item is missing
or damaged, notify a Hardy sales representative and/or the shipping agency.
HI6800 Series Application Controllers shipped or stored at extreme temperatures require
time to adjust to operating temperatures before startup. If the HI6800 Series Application
Controller arrives in hot or cold weather, do not unpack it until it has been allowed to reach
room temperature (one to two hours). Immediately exposing the HI6800 Series Application
Controller to warm temperature can cause condensation to occur, which could damage the
electronics. If any condensation is noticed, allow the HI6800 Series Application Controller to
stand unattended for one to two hours, and then unpack it.
