PREPARATION FOR
STORAGE/SHIPMENT
The following paragraphs give instructions for preparing the 681XXB
for storage or shipment.
Preparation
for Storage
Preparing the sweep generator for storage consists
of cleaning the unit, packing the inside with mois-
ture-absorbing desiccant crystals, and storing the
unit in a temperature environment that is main-
tained between –40
°
C and +75
°
C (–40
°
F to +176
°
F ).
Preparation
for Shipment
To provide maximum protection against damage in
transit, the sweep generator should be repackaged
in the original shipping container. If this container is
no longer available and the unit is being returned to
WILTRON
for repair, advise
WILTRON
Customer
Service; they will send a new shipping container free
of charge. In the event neither of these two options
is possible, instructions for packaging and shipment
are given below.
Use a Suitable Container.
Obtain a corrugated cardboard carton with a 275-
pound test strength. This carton should have inside
dimensions of no less than six inches larger than the
unit dimensions to allow for cushioning.
Protect the Instrument.
Surround the unit with polyethylene sheeting to pro-
tect the finish.
Cushion the Instrument.
Cushion the instrument on all sides by tightly pack-
ing dunnage or urethane foam between the carton
and the unit. Provide at least three inches of dun-
nage on all sides.
Seal the Container.
Seal the carton by using either shipping tape or an
industrial stapler.
Address the Container.
If the instrument is being returned to
WILTRON
for
service, mark the address of the appropriate
WIL-
TRON
service center (Table 2-1) and your return ad-
dress on the carton in one or more prominent
locations.
