Warranty Repairs 

During the warranty period, Spellman will repair 
all units free of charge. The warranty is void if 
the unit is worked on by other than Spellman 
personnel. See the warranty in the rear of this 
manual for more information. Follow the return 
procedures described in section 6.2. The 
customer shall pay for shipping to and from 
Spellman.

Factory Service 

Procedures 

Spellman has a well-equipped factory repair 
department. If a unit is returned to the factory for 
calibration or repair, a detailed description of the 
specific problem should be attached. 
 
For all units returned for repair, please obtain an 
authorization to ship from the customer service 
department, either by phone or mail prior to 
shipping. When you call, please state the model 
and serial numbers, which are on the plate on the 
rear of the power supply, and the purchase order 
number for the repair. A return Material 
Authorization Code number (RMA Number) is 
needed for all returns.  This RMA number 
should be marked clearly on the outside of the 
shipping container. Packages received without an 
RMA number will be returned to the customer. 
The customer shall pay for shipping to and from 
Spellman. 
 
A preliminary estimate for repairs will be given 
by phone by Customer Service. A purchase order 
for this amount is requested upon issuance of the 
RMA Number. A more detailed estimate will be 
made when the power supply is received at 
Spellman Repair Center. In the event that repair 
work is extensive, Spellman will call to seek 
additional authorization from your company 
before completing the repairs. 

 

8.3

 

Ordering Options and 

Modifications 

Many of the options listed in chapter 5 can be 
retrofitted into Spellman’s power supplies by our 
factory. For prices and arrangements contact the 
Spellman sales department. 

 

8.4

 

Shipping Instructions 

All power supplies returned to Spellman must be 
sent shipping prepaid. Pack the units carefully 
and securely in a suitable container, preferably in 
the original container, if available. The power 
supply should be surrounded by at least four 
inches of shock absorbing material. Please return 
all associated materials, i.e. high voltage output 
cables, interconnection cables, etc., so that we 
can examine and test the entire system. 
 
All correspondence and phone calls should be 
directed to:
