INTRODUCTION
Unpacking
If there are any signs of damage to the outside of the carton, please notify us or your
supplier immediately, regardless of the unit's apparent physical condition. This is in
case a claim has to be made at a later date because of previously undetected transit
damage. The packaging material should not be discarded until the mixer has been
acceptance tested and a suitable transit/storage case is available for secure, safe
storage.
Visual Inspection
Identification - please make a separate note of the serial number for your own capital
equipment records.
Ensure that it agrees with the number on the invoice/packing
note.
The serial number label is on the back cover, adjacent to the battery
compartment.
Configuration - check that the correct number and combination of input modules have
been installed. If, for any reason, you wish to change the positions of the modules, do
not do so until after completion of any acceptance tests. Any tests then made will be
to a known configuration and can be compared with our factory records.
Temperature - check the meter glasses for condensation. If the package has been in
transit during cold weather, leave the mixer for at least 12 hours to allow it to return to
normal room temperature.
Any measurements or subjective tests then made, will be
to a known temperature reference.
Specific Points
Battery compartment - the mixer has an integral battery compartment to accept 10
size-C cells, and is formed as part of the bottom transversal extrusion.
This helps to
lower the centre of gravity, as well as adding to the rigidity of the frame.
DC-DC converter - is mounted on the top side of the battery housing and is
underneath the fader section of the output and last four input modules.
In order to facilitate the testing and calibration of all modules, a set of two extender
modules is available from the factory.
