When the Spectrometer Arrives
Inspect the shipment
Upon receipt of the instrument, inspect the exterior of the shipping carton for obvious signs of damage.
The carton should arrive unopened and undamaged. If the carton has been damaged, file a claim with the
authorized carrier immediately and inform your nearest PerkinElmer office. A representative of the
shipping carrier must be present for insurance purposes.
How to unpack the spectrometer
Carefully read these instructions before you unpack the AAnalyst 200 to avoid damaging the instrument.
The AAnalyst 200 is shipped in a single carton. The carton contains the instrument in the lower portion of
the box with an inner tray designed to hold items in the upper portion of the box. The touch screen,
atomizer compartment door, drain bottle, sample shelf, user guides, and small parts are contained in the
inner tray.
1. Place the instrument carton on the floor in front of the bench on which the instrument will be placed.
2. Cut the two bands that hold the carton together, lift off the top of the carton.
3. Pull out the two foam pieces that secure the instrument in the box.
4. Remove the three small cardboard boxes from the carton.
5. Lift up and remove the carton sleeve (the sides of the box).
6. Next remove the protective wrapping around the instrument (not shown).
7. Prepare to lift the instrument out of the carton. You will need two people to do this. The bench
should be nearby.
WARNING
The instrument weighs 49 kg (108 lb). Use proper lifting posture when lifting
the instrument out of the carton. Be aware that most of the weight is located at
the right front corner of the instrument. It will want to tip forward when it is
lifted out of the carton, so be prepared to support that corner.
