ANY PRODUCT FOUND TO BE DAMAGED THROUGH CUSTOMER NEGLIGENCE OR MISUSE MAY BE EXCLUDED FROM ANY AND ALL STATED POLICIES.

Additional warranty information can be found in the Daytronic Corporation Terms and Conditions of Sale.

Warranty period of the original manufacturer

* For any cathode ray tube (CRT) supplied, Daytronic offers the CRT manufacturer's warranty for a period of ninety days from date of shipment.  Also, Daytronic offers a limited warranty on software diskettes, which are warranted free of detects in materials and workmanship under normal use for 30 days from date of shipment.

** Daytronic will perform an initial transducer inspection at no charge.  If additional inspection by the transducer manufacturer is required, the cost of such additional inspection will be forwarded to the customer.

 

Extending the Standard Warranty Period
for Newly Purchased Equipment

The standard one-year warranty for a Daytronic INSTRUMENT or SYSTEM may be extended at the time of order to

a SECOND year from the original date of shipment for 5% of price

a THIRD year from the original date of shipment for 4% of price

Note that the cost of such warranty extension is a total sum of percentages of the current product list price over the desired number of years.  For example, extending to three years the standard warranty on a 3000 Series instrument would cost 9% of the current list price at the time of order (5% for the second year + 4% for the third year).  Note also that

A warranty extension is not available for transducers, cathode ray tubes, or separately purchased component parts.

A warranty extension provides an extended warranty period only; no additional warranty coverage is expressed or implied.

 

For troubleshooting products before returning them, we offer FREE TELEPHONE SUPPORT, and also on-site FIELD SERVICE.

"D.O.A." Policy

 

Returning Equipment to the Factory   [ Back]

ALL EQUIPMENT TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY MUST BE RETURNED TO THE FACTORY.  Before returning a product or products for any reason, you must obtain a RETURN MATERIAL AUTHORIZATION (RMA), as explained below.  This number should be referenced when checking repair status.

To return products for repair:

  1. Contact Daytronic Customer Support Services at (937) 293-2566 or 1-800-668-4745 to be issued an RMA number.

  2. Be prepared to provide your company information, the model number and serial number of the product(s) to be repaired, and the nature of the problem.

  3. Once a specific RMA has been assigned, the product(s) in question should be returned to Daytronic by shipping it freight prepaid to Dranetz/BMI, 1000 New Durham Road, Edison, New Jersey 08818.  In cases where handling and repair are to be expedited, you need to contact Daytronic prior to shipment, for a turnaround-time quote to be issued.

  4. Along with the shipment, be sure to include documentation indicating the RMA that has been assigned to this return of product(s).  Also, mark the RMA on the outside of the box to insure that it reaches the appropriate department.  Failure to do this might delay repairs and credits, and may even result in products being sent back to the customer.

All repairs completed by Daytronic are warranted for a period of 90 days from date of shipment. This warranty applies only to those goods which were found to be defective and repaired; it does not apply to products in which no defect was found.

"D.O.A" Policy   [ Back]

Any Daytronic product which fails to operate upon receipt and/or initial powerup by the customer within 90 days from the date of shipment shall be considered "D.O.A."  This includes any product which has been repaired by Daytronic.

Any D.O.A. product will be repaired or replaced within five working days of its return to Daytronic.  As with any returned product, a RETURN MATERIAL AUTHORIZATION (RMA) must first be obtained by the customer.
