Placing the System Components

On the outside of the instrument crate, examine
these indicators:
• Tilt indicator (lower portion of crate), which
indicates if the crate has been severely tilted
• Shock indicator (upper portion of crate),
which indicates if the crate has been
subjected to excessive force
If either of these devices indicate tilt or shock
effects, perform the remaining steps in this
procedure, then visually inspect all contents of
the crate:
• If any items are damaged, contact Applied
Biosystems.
