Chapter 5 Maintenance
Preparation for Shipment
Elements
The elements can be left in the sockets of the line section with their ARROWS turned midway between the measur-
ing positions. Any additional elements should be well padded and wrapped before being put in the shipping con-
tainer.
Line Section
Wrap the connectors on the flanged models with padding and tape them securely in place. Cover both ends of the
line section and the socket to keep out dust and foreign material. Place the line section in a sturdy shipping con-
tainer such as a corrugated paper box.
DC Cables
Pad and wrap the DC connector plugs and then coil the cables tightly.
Meter
Cover the meter face with padding to protect the glass window, then wrap the housing and place it in the same box
as the line section.
Storage
No special preparations for storage are necessary other than to cover the equipment to keep out dust and dirt. For
an extra precaution, leave an element in the socket with the arrow turned midway between the measuring posi-
tions.
