container could indicate damage to the instrument inside.
The shipping package should include all of the following items
o

Inspect for damage
o
Check the connector sockets for corrosion, dirt, and salt deposits
o
Check the circuit boards for damage
o
Check the pressure case for dents and scrapes
o

Ensure the Xchange™ sensor is installed tightly onto its mount. The blue locking sleeve
should be tight, and sitting less than 1mm from the instrument end cap.
Connect the instrument to a computer with the data cable and perform a scan or monitor if
using SeaCast.

If shipping for repair or recalibration, obtain an RMA number from the service centre.
