Appendix C: Packaging for Shipment
If you ship the digitizing oscilloscope, pack it in the original shipping carton
and packing material. If the original packing material is not available, packĆ
age the instrument as follows:
1. Obtain a corrugated cardboard shipping carton with inside dimensions
at least 15Ăcm (6Ăin) taller, wider, and deeper than the digitizing oscilloĆ
scope. The shipping carton must be constructed of cardboard with
170 kg (375 pound) test strength.
2. If you are shipping the digitizing oscilloscope to a Tektronix field office
for repair, attach a tag to the digitizing oscilloscope showing the instruĆ
ment owner and address, the name of the person to contact about the
instrument, the instrument type, and the serial number.
3. Wrap the digitizing oscilloscope with polyethylene sheeting or equivalent
material to protect the finish.
4. Cushion the digitizing oscilloscope in the shipping carton by tightly
packing dunnage or urethane foam on all sides between the carton and
the digitizing oscilloscope. Allow 7.5Ăcm (3Ăin) on all sides, top, and
bottom.
5. Seal the shipping carton with shipping tape or an industrial stapler.
NOTE
Do not ship the digitizing oscilloscope with a disk inside the disk
drive (optional on TDS 620A & TDS 640A). When the disk is inside
the drive, the disk release button sticks out. This makes the button
more prone to damage than otherwise.
