2.2 UNPACKING
Unpack and visually inspect the instrument housing, controller, and associated modules for
any damage. The instrument may be removed from its housing, if necessary, to install
modules or change the communication jumper. Remove the controller from its housing by
loosening the two retaining screws in the front panel and pulling the unit out of the housing.
Save packing materials for any reshipment, or to support any claim of shipment damage. All
damage claims are made against the carrier and are the responsibility of the customer.
Included in the shipping container is a bag containing mounting brackets and screws, and an
information package. A card containing several copies of a writeable instrument identification
tag is included in the information package. Write required data on the tag and insert it under
the translucent strip at the bottom of the front panel after the controller is installed.
