4.1 Introduction 
 
 

 
This section provides the information required for installing and using the 
accessories of the PMM RA-01 Active Rod Antenna. 
Information is included regarding initial inspection, power requirements, 
interconnections, work environment, assembly, cleaning, storage and 
shipment.

 

The following general information is applicable to all accessories. 

 

4.2 Preliminary  
        inspection 
 
 

 

Inspect the packaging for any damage. 
 

If the packaging or anti-shock material have been damaged, check 
that the contents are complete and that the meter has not suffered 
electric or mechanical damage. 
Check that all the Accessories are there against the checklist found 
with the apparatus. 
Inform the carrier and NARDA of any damage that has occurred. 

 
 

4.3 Work environment 

Unless otherwise specified, the work environment of the Accessories, must 
come within the following conditions: 

 

 Temperature 

  Humidity (without condensation) 

 

From -10°C to +60° C 
< 98% relative 
 

 

The Accessories must be stored in a clean and dry environment, free from 
dust, acids and humidity. 
The storage environment must come within the range of the following 
conditions: 

 

 Temperature 

  Humidity (without condensation)

4.4 Return for repair 

When the Accessories need to be returned to NARDA for repair, please 
complete the questionnaire appended to this User’s Manual, filling in all the 
data that will be useful for the service you have requested. 
For reducing the period of time required for the repairs, it is necessary to 
be as specific as possible in describing the problem. If the problem only 
occurs in certain circumstances, please describe in detail how it happens. 
If possible it is better to reuse the original packaging; making sure that the 
apparatus is wrapped in thick paper or plastic. 
Otherwise, use strong packaging by using a sufficient quantity of shock 
absorbent material around all sides of the meter to ensure that it is 
compact and does not move around inside the package.  
In particular, take every precaution to protect the front panels.  
Finish the package by sealing it up tightly. 
Apply a FRAGILE label to the package to encourage greater care in its 
handling. 
 
 

4.5 Cleaning 
 

 

Use a dry, clean and non-abrasive cloth for cleaning the instruments. 
 

Do not use solvents, acids, turpentine, acetone or other similar 
products for cleaning the devices in order to avoid damaging them.
