Shipping the instrument back to Super Systems
When returning the PGA3500 to SSI for calibration or any other service, it must be properly
protected during shipment. The best method of packaging the instrument is in its original
packaging which includes custom-fit foam. For this reason, the original packaging should
be retained. If the original packaging is not available, the instrument should be shipped in
a suitably sized cardboard box with at least 4” of solid padding on each side of the instrument
(not packing peanuts).
In the event that the PGA3500 is returned to Super Systems with improper packaging, we
reserve the right to charge for replacement custom foam and a new box instead of
risking damage to the instrument during reshipment.
Super Systems will not be responsible for damage caused by improper packaging.
Moisture and Condensation
Depending on the composition of the gas being sampled, it is possible that condensation
could occur in the sample tubing. This is not likely in a properly operating endothermic
atmosphere, however condensation can occur in either a poorly operating endothermic or any
exothermic atmosphere. Do not leave the PGA3500 unattended for long periods of time
unless you are confident that the gas being sampled will not condense in the sample lines. If
moisture gets inside the instrument it will result in permanent damage the sensors, which is
not covered under the warranty.
RETAIN ORIGINAL PACKAGING.
PROPER PACKAGING IS REQUIRED WHEN
RETURNING PGA FOR CALIBRATION OR REPAIR.
DAMAGE CAUSED BY IMPROPER
PACKAGING IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OPERATOR TO ENSURE THAT THE
GAS BEING SAMPLED DOES NOT PRODUCE ANY CONDENSATION.
SENSOR DAMAGE DUE TO MOISTURE WILL VOID THE WARRANTY
