2.7 Return for Service
If the instrument should be returned to NARDA for service, please complete
the service questionnaire enclosed with the Operating Manual and attach it to
the instrument.
To minimize the repair time, be as specific as possible when describing the
failure. If the failure only occurs under certain conditions, explain how to
duplicate the failure.
If possible, reusing of the original packaging to ship the equipment is
preferable.
In case other package should be used, ensure to wrap the instrument in
heavy paper or plastic.
Use a strong shipping box and use enough shock absorbing material all
around the equipment to provide a firm cushion and prevent movement in the
shipping box; in particular protect the front panel.
Seal the shipping box securely.
Mark the shipping box FRAGILE to encourage careful handling.
Nowadays there are restrictions on the shipment of hazardous materials, eg.
some types of lithium batteries.
Please, check the proper, safe, shipping mode, with the help of your courier,
in the case the product is equipped with batteries.
2.8 Equipment Cleaning
Use a clean, dry, non abrasive cloth for external cleaning of the equipment.
To clean the equipment do not use any solvent, thinner, turpentine,
acid, acetone or similar matter to avoid damage to external plastic or
display surfaces.
2.9 Equipment
ventilation
To allow correct equipment ventilation ensure that the vent grids on the
rear panel and on the bottom of the receiver are free by any obstructing
object.
2.10 Hardware
Installation PMM ER9000 is delivered from factory ready to use. Remove the receiver
from its cardboard shipping box and keep the “ON” button pressed until the
PW Led lights up (about 1 second), then release the button. To avoid
unwanted starts, if the “ON” button is kept pressed for a too short time or for
more then 2 seconds the instrument is switched automatically off.
After having been switched ON, the PMM ER9000 boots with its internal
BIOS and runs the firmware which manages the receiver.
At the beginning the instrument performs a diagnostic test to check if
everything is working properly.
The boot sequence is very fast and the receiver is ready to use in less than
ten seconds after having pressed the ON button.
Just before the end of the boot up, you will see all the front panel LED’s
flashing ON and then only the Power green LED and the RF IN remain ON.
The receiver is now ready to operate.
Prepare the connection to the external LISN or connect the output of any
antenna, or absorbing clamp or any other transducers to the RF input.
