Shipping and Handling
Inspection
Examine the shipment for damage as soon after receipt as possible, preferably before removal
from the carrier’s conveyance. Check the bill of lading to make sure all shipping skids, crates,
and containers listed are present.
If there is visible loss and/or damage:
1. Notify the delivering carrier immediately.
2. Ask for a carrier inspection.
3. Note condition of shipment on all copies of the delivery receipt.
4. File a claim with the carrier.
If concealed damage is discovered:
1. Notify the delivering carrier within 15 days of receipt of shipment.
2. Ask for a carrier inspection.
3. File a claim with the carrier.
Notify S&C Electric Company in all instances of loss and damage.
Packing
An S&C catalog drawing will be found in a water-resistant envelope attached to the wrapper
around one of the insulating support columns. Study this drawing carefully and check the
bill of materials to verify all parts are at hand. The Model 2040 Series 2000 Circuit-Switcher
shipment should include the following items, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 on pages 10 and 11.
CAUTION
DO NOT mix components from different installations.
The Series 2000 Circuit-Switcher is
completely factory-assembled and thoroughly
tested . To speed installation and maintain the proper adjustment of the circuit-switcher
and switch operator that was made in the factory, components belonging to a specific
circuit-switcher installation
must not be intermixed with components belonging to a
different installation . Each Series 2000 Circuit-Switcher is serially numbered . This serial
number appears on the circuit-switcher high-speed base, pole units, mounting pedestals,
and the operator .
Mixing parts from different circuit-switchers will result in
significant damage to the switch
operator and mis-operation of the circuit-switcher .
S&C maintains a historical record—by serial number—of every circuit-switcher produced.
This record lists information pertinent to each installation, such as application, date of
shipment, and any service performed by S&C factory service specialists. This record is an
invaluable reference for future maintenance, modifications, or replacements.
