8.1 Step 1: Visual inspection
All Schaffner ecosine max passive harmonic filters have undergone rigorous testing before they left
our ISO 9001:2008 certified factories. They are packaged with great care in a sturdy container for in-
ternational shipment.
However, carefully inspect the shipping container for damage that may have occurred in transit. There
are two TiltWatches and one ShockWatch attached on the packaging, in case one or more of the Tilt-
Watch and ShockWatch indicating a record of unacceptable tilting or shock on goods (indicator turned
red partially or totally), please file a claim with the forwarder immediately before unpacking anything. If
both TiltWatches and the ShockWatch are good, unpack the filter and carefully inspect for any signs of
damage. Keep the shipping container for future transportation or storage of the filter.

In the case of damage, please file a claim with the freight forwarder involved immediately and contact
Schaffner or our local partner for support. Under no circumstances install and energize a filter with
suspected transportation damage, whenever it is clearly visible or not.
