Installation
3.1 Initial Inspection
IET instruments receive a careful mechanical and
electrical inspection before shipment. Upon receipt,
verify that the contents are intact and as ordered.
The instrument should then be given a visual and
operational inspection.
If any shipping damage is found, contact the carrier
and IET Labs. If any operational problems are en-
countered, contact IET Labs and refer to the warranty
at the beginning of this manual.
Save all original packing material for convenience
in case shipping of the instrument should become
necessary.
3.2 Installation
For a rack mounted model, installation in a 19 inch
rack may be made using the slots in the rack mount-
ing ears. A mounting location that does not expose
the unit to excessive heat is recommended. For bench
models there is no required installation.
Since this is a high accuracy instrument, it is rec-
ommended that a space be provided that would not
expose it to mechanical abuse and keep it maintained
at laboratory standard temperatures near 23ºC.
3.3 Repackaging for Shipment
If the instrument is to be returned to IET Labs, contact
the Service Department at the number or address,
shown on the front cover of this manual, to obtain a
“Returned Material Authorization” (RMA) number
and any special shipping instructions or assistance.
Proceed as follows:
1. Attach a tag to the instrument identifying the
owner and indicate the service or repair to be
accomplished. Include the model number,
the full serial number of the instrument, the
RMA number, and shipping address.
2. Wrap the instrument in heavy paper or
plastic.
3. Protect the front panel and any other protru-
sions with cardboard or foam padding.
4. Place instrument in original container or
equally substantial heavy carton.
5. Use packing material around all sides of
instrument.
6. Seal with strong tape or bands.
7. Mark shipping container “DELICATE
INSTRUMENT,” “FRAGILE,” etc.
3.4 Storage
If this instrument is to be stored for any lengthy period
of time, it should be sealed in plastic and stored in a
dry location. It should not be subjected to temperature
extremes beyond the specifications. Extended expo
-
sure to such temperatures can result in an irreversible
change in resistance, and require recalibration.
