Returning Systems to TRDI Europe
When shipping the system to TRDI Europe, the following instructions will help ensure the Sentinel V
ADCP arrives with the minimum possible delay. Any deviation from these instructions increases the po-
tential for delay.
Step 1 - Request a Return Material Authorization
To obtain a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number and shipping instructions for the return of the
instrument, do one of the following:
•
Contact Customer Service Administration at
•
Call +33(0) 492-110-930
When requesting a RMA number, please give us the following information:
•
What is being shipped (include the serial number)
•
When you plan to send the shipment
•
What issue(s) need to be corrected
•
Name of the Field Service Engineer that knows about the issue
•
When you need the instrument returned
TRDI’s Customer Service will then respond with the RMA number for the shipment. Please include this
number on all packages and correspondence.
Step 2 – Provide a MSDS as necessary
Please provide a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) if the system/transducer is painted with antifouling
paint.
Step 3 - Ship via Air Freight, Prepaid
The optional Lithium battery packs are restricted to Cargo Aircraft Only since 1 January 2015.
Do NOT return ADCP units with the optional Lithium battery pack installed.
Urgent Shipments should be shipped direct to TRDI via overnight or priority air services. Do not send ur-
gent airfreight as part of a consolidated shipment. If the system is shipped consolidated, it will cost less,
but may lose up to three days in transit time.
Non-urgent shipments may be shipped as part of a consolidated cargo shipment to save money.
