Chapter 2: Transport, Unpacking and Accessories Transport Despite the robust design of the FORMULA Industrial Monitor, the components are sensitive to strong vibrations and impacts. During transport, your FORMULA should therefore be protected from excessive mechanical stress. Therefore, please use the original packaging. Danger of damage to the FORMULA! If the FORMULA is transported in cold weather or is exposed to extreme variations in temperature, make sure that moisture (condensation) does not form on or inside the FORMULA. Prior to operation, the FORMULA must be allowed to slowly adjust to room temperature. Should condensation occur, a delay time of approximately 12 hours must be allowed before the FORMULA is switched on. Unpacking Proceed as follows to unpack the FORMULA: 1. Remove packaging. 2. Do not discard the original packaging. Keep it for future relocation. 3. Check the delivery for completeness by comparing it with your order. 4. Please keep the associated paperwork. 5. Check the contents for visible shipping damage. 6. If you notice any shipping damage or inconsistencies between the contents and your order, you should notify the supplier.
