Unpacking/Repacking the TMA

The instructions needed to unpack and repack the instrument are found as separate unpacking instructions in
the shipping box and in the online documentation associated with the instrument control software. You may
wish to retain all of the shipping hardware, the plywood, and boxes from the instrument in the event you wish
to repack and ship your instrument.

WARNING: Have an assistant help you unpack this unit. Do not attempt to do this
alone.

Installing the Instrument

Before shipment, the TMA instrument is inspected both electrically and mechanically so that it is ready for
operation upon proper installation. Only limited instructions are given in this manual, consult the online
documentation for additional information. Installation involves the following procedures:

•

Inspecting the system for shipping damage and missing parts

•

Installing a voltage configuration unit.

•

Connecting the TMA to the TA Instruments controller

•

Connecting cables and gas lines.

It is recommended that you have your TMA installed by a TA Instruments Service Representative, call for an
installation appointment when you receive your instrument.

CAUTION: To avoid mistakes, read this entire chapter before you begin installation.

NOTE: If you plan to ship your TMA by commercial carrier, you will need to remove the voltage
configuration unit first. Please refer to the online help accessed through the Help menu for
detailed instructions on transporting the TMA.

Inspecting the System

When you receive your TMA, look over the instrument and shipping container carefully for signs of shipping
damage, and check the parts received against the enclosed shipping list.

•

If the instrument is damaged, notify the carrier and TA Instruments immediately.

•

If the instrument is intact but parts are missing, contact TA Instruments.
