Equipment Setup and Installation
2-5.4 Installing and Deploying the ADFM
Detailed procedures for installing the ADFM in a specific application can-
not be provided without detailed knowledge of the application. Please con-
tact MGD Technologies Inc. if you desire information or assistance in your
application. “Deployment” refers to the programming of an ADFM with
the site, channel, profiling, and data logging characteristics desired at the
site. Deployment is discussed in more detail in
Chapter 3 and the software
manual.
2-6 Packaging and Shipping the ADFM
Clean the Electronics Unit and transducer assembly with mild soap and wa-
ter prior to packaging and shipment.
DO NOT use abrasive agents or sol-
vents as they will damage these surfaces. MILD chlorine bleach solutions
may be used if odors persist or if disinfection of the unit is desired. Use
caution to prevent water from entering the Electronics Unit housing while
cleaning. Ensure that the unit is completely dry prior to packaging and
shipment to avoid corrosion or other damage during shipment. The ADFM
may be shipped with batteries installed, however, all key switches should be
in the “off” position for shipment. Removal of batteries from the unit may
be desirable to reduce the shipping weight.
2-6.1 Tagging For Service
If the instrument is to be shipped to MGD Technologies Inc. for service or
repair, attach a tag to the instrument identifying the owner, address of
owner, complete instrument model and serial number, and a description of
the service required. Mark the container FRAGILE to ensure careful han-
dling. In any correspondence, refer to the system by model and full serial
number.
2-6.2 Packaging
The original factory packaging material should be stored for reuse in the
event it becomes necessary to transport the ADFM. If the original packag-
ing material is unavailable or unserviceable, materials identical or equiva-
lent to those used in factory packaging are available through MGD Tech-
nologies Inc.
For repackaging with commercially available materials follow these instruc-
tions:
•
Wrap Electronics Unit and transducer assembly separately in
bubble wrap or other cushioning material.
•
Use strong shipping container suitable for the weight of the
ADFM. Shipping containers made of wood or plastic are prefer-
