RA-01 Active Rod Antenna.
Included are information pertinent to initial inspection, interconnection,
environment, mechanical mounting, cleaning, storage and shipment.
2.2 Initial inspection
Inspect the shipping container for damage.
If the shipping container or cushion material is damaged, it should be
kept until the contents of the shipment have been checked for
completeness and the antennas have been checked mechanically and
electrically.
Verify the accessories availability in the shipping referring to the
accessories check list enclosed.
Notify any damage to the carrier personnel as well as the NARDA
Representative.
2.3 Environment
The Rod antennas are made with lightweight corrosion-resistant aluminum
providing years of indoor and outdoor service.
2.4 Return for service
If the PMM RA-01 Active Rod Antenna should be returned to NARDA for
service, please complete the service questionnaire enclosed with the
Users Manual and attach it to the instrument.
To minimize the repair time, be as specific as possible when describing the
failure.
If possible, reuse 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 container and use enough shock absorbing material
around all sides of the equipment to provide a firm cushion and prevent
movement in the container.
Seal the shipping container securely.
Mark the shipping container 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.
2.5 Equipment cleaning
Use a clean, dry, non abrasive cloth for equipment cleaning.
To clean the wooden tripod do not use any solvent, thinner,
turpentine, acid, acetone or similar matter to avoid damage to it.
