Appendix B Equipment handling
13
If the unit contains normal batteries, these may have been disconnected/isolated
before the unit was packed. These must only be reconnected before the installation
starts. Units containing batteries are marked.
Caution
Units containing lithium or alkaline batteries must be handled separately
and with care. Such units are marked accordingly. Do not attempt to
recharge such batteries, open them or dispose of them by incineration.
Refer to the applicable product data sheets.
Inspection
An inspection must be carried out immediately after the unit(s) have arrived at their
destination.
1
Check all wooden or cardboard boxes, plastic bags and pallets for physical damage.
Look for signs of dropping, immersion in water or other mishandling.
2
If damage is detected externally, you will have to open the packaging to check the
contents. Request a representative of the carrier to be present while the carton is
opened, so any transportation damage can be identified.
3
If any units are damaged, prepare an inspection report stating the condition of the
unit and actions taken. Describe the damage and collect photographic evidence if
possible. Send the inspection report to Simrad as soon as possible.
4
If the units are not damaged, check the humidity absorbing material. If required, dry
or replace the bags, then re-pack the unit(s) according to the packing instructions.
Unpacking
General unpacking procedure
Normal precautions for the handling, transportation and storage of fragile electronic
equipment must be undertaken.
Note
If the unit is not to be prepared for immediate use, you may consider storing it unopened
in its original packing material. However, it may be useful to open the case to check its
contents for damage and retrieve any accompanying documentation.
Do not use a knife to open cardboard cartons - the contents may lie close to the surface,
and may be damaged by the blade.
