SERVICE INFORMATION 

SECTION 4  

 

SERVICE INFORMATION 

 

Preparation for Calibration or Repair Service 

 

The R1L-E2A may only be repaired at TEGAM, Inc., as it is a 

labeled unit with requirements for intrinsic safety and use in 

an explosive atmosphere. As part of the process in meeting 

these requirements, the R1L-E2A internal printed circuit board 

has a conformal coating, a large area of hard encapsulation, 

and some areas of soft encapsulation. If a problem exists and 

repair is required, please contact TEGAM, Inc. for a return 

authorization number. You can contact  TEGAM customer 

service via the TEGAM website, 

www.tegam.com

 or by calling 

440.466.6100 (

All Locations

) OR 800.666.1010 (

United States 

Only

).  

 

The RMA number is unique to your instrument and will help us 

identify your instrument and to address the particular service 

request by you which is assigned to that RMA number. 

 

Of even greater importance, a detailed written description of 

the problem should be attached to the instrument. Many times 

repair turnaround is unnecessarily delayed due to a lack of 

repair instructions or of a detailed description of the problem. 

This description should include information such as 

measurement range, and other instrument settings, type of 

components being tested, are the symptoms intermittent?, 

conditions that may cause the symptoms, has anything 

changed since the last time the instrument was used?, etc. 

Any detailed information provided to our technicians will assist 

them in identifying and correcting the problem in the quickest 

possible manner. Use a copy of the Repair and Calibration 

Service form provided on the next page. 

 

Once this information is prepared and sent with the instrument 

to our service department, we will do our part in making sure 

that you receive the best possible customer service and 

turnaround time possible.
