2.1.1 Unpacking and Checking the Instrument
Check the equipment for completeness using the delivery note and the accessory
lists for the various items. Check the instrument for any damage. If there is dam-
age, immediately contact the carrier who delivered the instrument. Make sure not
to discard the box and packing material.
Packing material
Retain the original packing material. If the instrument needs to be transpor-
ted or shipped at a later date, you can use the material to protect the control
elements and connectors.
Risk of damage during transportation and shipment
Insufficient protection against mechanical and electrostatic effects during
transportation and shipment can damage the instrument.
●
Always make sure that sufficient mechanical and electrostatic protection
is provided.
●
When shipping an instrument, the original packaging should be used. If
you do not have the original packaging, use sufficient padding to pre-
vent the instrument from moving around inside the box. Pack the instru-
ment in antistatic wrap to protect it from electrostatic charging.
●
Secure the instrument to prevent any movement and other mechanical
effects during transportation.
The carrying handles at the front and side of the casing are designed to lift
or carry the instrument. Do not apply an excessive external force to the
handles.
Observe the information on transporting heavy instruments in the basic
safety instructions included at the front of the printed manual.
