2-4 Return Shipment
Prior to returning any device to the factory, visit the Brooks web site
(www.BrooksInstrument.com) for a Return Materials Authorization Number
(RMA#), or contact one of the locations provided on p. 2-1.
Prior to returning the device, it must be purged in accordance with the
following:
All flow devices returned to Brooks require completion of Form RPR003-1,
Brooks Instrument Decontamination Statement, along with a Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the fluid(s) used in the instrument. Failure
to provide this information will delay processing by Brooks personnel.
Copies of these forms can be downloaded from the Brooks website
(www.BrooksInstrument.com) or are available from any of the Brooks
Instrument locations provided on p. 2-1.
2-5 Transit Precautions
To safeguard against damage during transit, transport the device to the
installation site in the same container used for transportation from the
factory, if circumstances permit.
2-6 Removal from Storage
Upon removal of the device from storage, a visual inspection should be
conducted to verify its "as-received" condition. If the device has been
subject to storage conditions in excess of those recommended (refer to
"2-3 Recommended Storage Practice" on p. 2-1), it should be subjected
to a pneumatic pressure test in accordance with applicable vessel codes.
To maintain a devices ultraclean integrity, this service should be
performed by the factory or one of the certified service centers.
2-7 Gas Connections
Prior to installation, ensure that all piping is clean and free from
obstructions. Install piping in such a manner that permits easy access to
the device if removal becomes necessary.
2-8 In-Line Filter
It is recommended that an in-line filter be installed upstream from the
device to prevent the possibility of any foreign material entering the flow
sensor or control valve. The filtering element should be replaced
periodically or ultrasonically cleaned.
