AA83262-05 Pre-Installation Questionnaire 1

1 INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this pre-installation questionnaire is to help the user to prepare the installation of his ARL

spectrometer. Please provide precise answers to the following questions and return the questionnaire as soon

as possible, but by no means before your laboratory is completely prepared. By doing so, you will ensure that

our engineer arrives on the expected date and that the installation is completed in the best possible conditionsand without loss of time.

Any loss of time due to wrong information or bad preparation of the laboratory will be charged according to

our tariff.

The Pre-Installation Manual indicates all necessary information for the preparation of the laboratory in order

to ensure an installation without delays and the proper functioning of your instrument.

Once this form completed, please sign and send it back to your local Thermo Fisher representative.
