Shipping & Receiving
Receiving an Instrument
When receiving an instrument, perform the following steps to ensure the instrument will be ready
for deployment when required:

container could indicate damage to the instrument inside.
The shipping package should include all of the following items
o
MVP•X instrument
o
Blue sensor box which includes:
One primary sensor blanking plug
Two secondary sensor blanking plugs
o
USB stick with manuals and documentation
Inspect for damage
o
Check the cable for slices or gouges
o
Check the connector sockets for corrosion, dirt, and salt deposits
o
Check the pressure case for dents and scrapes
o
Check the sensors for cracks or bends
Ensure all the Xchange™ sensors are installed tightly. The blue locking sleeve should be
tight, and sitting less than 1 mm 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.
