Receiving, handling and storage
Receiving
The P1 Lighting Panel with i-3 Control
Technology V2 may be shipped as individual
units. Refer to the shipping slip/bill of lading
to identify all items included in the shipment.
1. When your shipment arrives, note
whether the equipment is properly
protected from the elements. Also,
note the trailer number on which
the equipment arrived and blocking
of equipment. During unloading
make sure the count agrees with
the delivery receipt.
2. Make an immediate inspection for
visible damage upon arrival and prior
to disturbing or removing packaging
or protective wrapping. This should be
done prior to unloading when possible.
When a total inspection cannot be made
prior to unloading, perform a close
inspection during unloading. Note
visible damage on the delivery receipt.
Take pictures when possible.
3. Any visible damage must be noted on
the delivery receipt and acknowledged
with the driver’s signature. The damage
should be described in as much detail
as possible. It is essential that the
notation: “Possible internal damage,
subject to inspection” is included on
the delivery receipt with damage noted.
The consignee or his/her agent should
not sign for the shipment.
4. Notify the Siemens sales office
immediately of any damage.
5. Arrange for a carrier inspection of
damage immediately. IMPORTANT:
Do not remove equipment from the
location where it was placed when
unloading. Be sure this location is
properly protected to ensure no further
damage will occur. Equipment must be
inspected by the carrier prior to handling
after receipt. This eliminates loss due to
possible claims by the carrier that the
equipment was damaged or further
damaged on-site after unloading.
6. Be sure the equipment is properly
protected from any further damage
by covering it after unloading.
7. If practical, make an additional
inspection for concealed damage while
carrier inspector is on site. If inspection
for concealed damage is not practical
when the carrier inspector is present, it
must be done within 15 days of receipt
of equipment. If concealed damage is
found, the carrier must be notified and
inspection made prior to taking any
corrective action to repair. Also, notify
the Siemens sales office immediately.
8. Obtain the original Carrier Inspection
Report and forward it, along with a
copy of the noted delivery receipt, to
the Siemens sales office. Approval must
be obtained by Siemens from the carrier
before any repair work can be performed.
Before approval can be obtained, Siemens
must have the documents. The carrier
inspection report and/or driver’s
signature on the delivery receipt does
not constitute approval for repair.
Identification
Individual panels may be identified by
the rating label showing the panel
designation information which also
appears on the shipping list. Refer to the
general arrangement drawing for location
of each lighting panel.
