1 General Requirements

To prevent the devices of the Thermo Scientific Vanquish series from

being damaged during transit when they need to be returned to the

factory, always use the original shipping container and observe the

packing instructions in this document.

Inappropriate packaging automatically voids the product warranty. If the

Preparing a Module for Transport, Shipment and Return

To prepare a module for transport, follow these steps:

1. Prepare the module for long-term shutdown.

Follow the instructions in the Shutdown section of the Operating

Manual for the respective module.

2. Prepare the module for transport as required.

Follow the instructions in the Transporting or Shipping section of the

Operating Manual for the module.

When returning a slide-in module:

Install the slide-in module to the enclosure of the replacement

device. Follow the steps for inserting the slide-in module in the

enclosure and tightening the captive screws in the Installing the

Slide-In Module section in Operating Manual for the module.

Additional steps required for any Vanquish module except the VH/VF-C10:

1. Slide the carrying handles that were installed when the system was

shipped on the rails at the right and left of the module from the rear

as shown in the figure below.

The final position of the handles must match the foam spacers used

for transport (15cm from the rear of the module to the center of

the handle).

Figure1: Sliding the carrying handle on the left rail

2. Fix the attachment screws on the carrying handles as shown below.

properly. Also, the slide-in module can fall out if not fixed properly. This

could cause personal injury and damage to the device. Verify the

following before lifting a device:

•The handles are fixed properly and cannot slide off the device.

•The four screws on the slide-in module are tightened and the slide-in

module cannot fall out (see Operating Manual of the detector, for
