PREPARATION FOR
STORAGE/SHIPMENT
The following paragraphs give instructions for preparing the 681XXA
for storage or shipment.
Preparation
for Storage
Preparing the sweep generator for storage consists
of cleaning the unit, packing the inside with mois-
ture-absorbing desiccant crystals, and storing the
unit in a temperature environment that is main-
tained between –40
°
C and +75
°
C (–40
°
F to +176
°
F ).
Preparation
for Shipment
To provide maximum protection against damage in
transit, the sweep generator should be repackaged
in the original shipping container. If this container is
no longer available and the unit is being returned to
WILTRON
for repair, advise
WILTRON
Customer
Service; they will send a new shipping container free
of charge. In the event neither of these two options
is possible, instructions for packaging and shipment
are given below.
Use a Suitable Container.
Obtain a corrugated cardboard carton with a 275-
pound test strength. This carton should have inside di-
mensions of no less than six inches larger than the unit
dimensions to allow for cushioning.
Protect the Instrument.
Surround the unit with polyethylene sheeting to pro-
tect the finish.
Cushion the Instrument.
Cushion the instrument on all sides by tightly packing
dunnage or urethane foam between the carton and the
unit. Provide at least three inches of dunnage on all
sides.
Seal the Container.
Seal the carton by using either shipping tape or an in-
dustrial stapler.
Address the Container.
If the instrument is being returned to
WILTRON
for
service, mark the address of the appropriate
WILTRON
service center (Table 2-1) and your return address on
the carton in one or more prominent locations.
