Shipping the RiverPro/RioPro
This section explains how to ship the RiverPro/RioPro ADCP.
Remove all customer-applied coatings or provide certification that the coating is nontoxic if
you are shipping a RiverPro/RioPro ADCP to TRDI for repair or upgrade. This certification must
include the name of a contact person who is knowledgeable about the coating, the name,
manufacturer of the coating and the appropriate telephone numbers. If you return the
equipment without meeting these conditions, TRDI has instructed our employees not to
handle the equipment and to leave it in the original shipping container pending certification. If
you cannot provide certification, we will return the equipment to you or to a customer-
specified cleaning facility. All costs associated with customer-applied coatings will be at the
customer's expense.
When shipping the RiverPro/RioPro ADCP through a Customs facility, be sure to place the unit so identi-
fying labels are not covered and can be seen easily by the Customs Inspector. Failure to do so could delay
transit time.
TRDI strongly recommends using the original shipping crate whenever transporting the
RiverPro/RioPro ADCP.
If you need to ship the RiverPro/RioPro ADCP, use the original shipping crate whenever possible. If the
original packaging material is unavailable or unserviceable, additional material is available through TRDI.
For repackaging with commercially available materials:
1. Use a strong shipping container made out of wood or plastic.
2. Install a layer of shock-absorbing static-shielding material, 70-mm to 100-mm thick, around all
sides of the instrument to firmly cushion and prevent movement inside the container.
3. Seal the shipping container securely.
4. Mark the container FRAGILE to ensure careful handing.
5. In any correspondence, refer to the RiverPro/RioPro ADCP by model and serial number.
