Caution
Spectrum analyzer damage can result from using packaging materials other
than those specified. Never use styrene pellets in any shape as packaging
materials. They do not adequately cushion the equipment or prevent it from
shifting in the carton. They cause equipment damage by generating static
electricity and by lodging in the spectrum analyzer fan.
Repackage the spectrum analyzer in the original packaging materials or with commercially
available materials described in steps 4 and 5, below.
1. Attach a completed service tag to the instrument.
2. Install the front-panel cover on the instrument.
3. Wrap the instrument in antistatic plastic to reduce the possibility of damage caused by
electrostatic discharge.
4. Use the original materials or a strong shipping container that is double-walled, corrugated
cardboard carton with 159 kg (350 lb) bursting strength. The carton must be both large
enough and strong enough to accommodate the spectrum analyzer and allow at least
3 to 4 inches on all sides of the spectrum analyzer for packing material.
5. Surround the equipment with at least 3 to 4 inches of packing material, or enough to
prevent the equipment from moving in the carton. If packing foam is unavailable, the best
alternative is SD-240 Air
Cap
TM
from Sealed Air Corporation (Commerce, CA 90001).
Air Cap looks like a plastic sheet covered with
l-1/4
inch air-filled bubbles. Use the
pink-colored Air Cap to reduce static electricity. Wrap the equipment several times in this
material to both protect the equipment and prevent it from moving in the carton.
6. Seal the shipping container securely with strong nylon adhesive tape.
7. Mark the shipping container
“FRAGILE, HANDLE WITH CARE” to assure careful
handling.
8. Retain copies of all shipping papers.
