new replacements. Hint: save the boxes used to ship the new sensors to return the old sensors.
• Write down asset number of new sensor(s) that will remain on station to use in Post-Trip documentation.
• If more than one sensor or multiple sensors for multiple stations have been ordered, the user will need to keep track of which sensors went onto which station for the Post-Trip documentation.
Returning Used Sensors to RSFWSU• On the shipping form that came with the new
sensor(s) from RSFWSU, record the old sensor asset numbers that are being returned to RSFWSU.
Returning Used Sensors to RSFWSU(con’t)
• Write the FedEx tracking number on the shipping form. This is very important in case the parts shipment is misrouted or lost.
• Make a copy of the completed form for your records • Package old sensor(s) in boxes with completed
shipping form and use return shipping label provided. Ship to RSFWSU.
What Happens When Parts are Due Or Past Due? When parts are not returned
after 45 days a Nag Report will be emailed to the POC
At this time parts orders for your entire unit (all stations) will be put on hold until the sensors are returned and cleared
The first week POC receives the Nag report
The second week the POC and their supervisor gets the report
The third week the POC, supervisor, and the coordinator will receive the report and everyday after that until the sensors are returned and cleared.
