NSTRUMENTS
Package the module using the original factory packaging or packaging identical to the factory
packaging. Containers and materials identical to those used in factory packaging are available
through VTI Instruments offices.
If returning the module to VTI Instruments for service, contact a VTI Service Center to set up an
RMA. The following information will be required:
•
Serial number
•
Model number
•
Type of service required
•
Return address
•
If applicable, a description of the problem that is being encountered which provides specific
detail relating the instrument being returned.
In any correspondence, refer to the serial number and RMA number.
Mark the container
“FRAGILE” to ensure careful handling. If it is necessary to package the module in a container other
than the original packaging, observe the following (although use of other packaging material is not
recommended):
•
Wrap the module in heavy paper or anti-static plastic
•
Protect the front panel with cardboard
•
Use a double-wall carton made of at least 350 lbs test material
•
Cushion the module to prevent damage
CAUTION
Do not use styrene pellets in any shape as packing material for the module. The pellets do not
adequately cushion the module and do not prevent the module from shifting in the carton. In
addition, the pellets create static electricity that can damage electronic components.
