Returns for Repairs 

 Once you have verified that the cause for the Coaxial RF Power Standards malfunction cannot be 
solved in the field and the need for repair and calibration service arises, contact TEGAM 
customer service to obtain an RMA, (Returned Material Authorization), number. You can contact 
TEGAM customer service via the TEGAM website, www.tegam.com or by calling 440.466.6100 
(All Locations) OR 800.666.1010 (United States Only).  

The RMA number is unique to your instrument and will help us identify you instrument and to 
address the service request by you which is assigned to that RMA number. 

Of even importance, a detailed written description of the problem should be attached to the 
instrument. Many times repair turnaround is unnecessarily delayed due to a lack of repair 
instructions or of a detailed description of the problem. 

This description should include information such as measurement range, and other instrument 
settings, type of components being tested, are the symptoms intermittent, conditions that may 
cause the symptoms, has anything changed since the last time the instrument was used, etc. Any 
detailed information provided to our technicians will assist them in identifying and correcting the 
problem in the quickest possible manner. Use a copy of the Repair and Calibration Service form 
provided on the next page. 

Once this information is prepared and sent with the instrument to our service department, we will 
do our part in making sure that you receive the best possible customer service and turnaround 
time possible.
