IN-WARRANTY REPAIRS
FREIGHT: Units returned must be received prepaid. Repaired units will be shipped at our expense. Priority returns, when requested, will be shipped at the customer’s expense.
REPAIR CHARGES for PROTECTION: Early product life failures (within 30-days) are the responsibility of Beckwith Electric and will be repaired at no charge including calibration, hi-pot, SWC test, 24-hour burn-in, and final electrical/mechanical test.
In-warranty units returned for repair due to damage from misuse in service, including damage from subjecting a relay to over voltage, will be subject to out-of-warranty rates. Units returned with an open fuse, or units for which no problem can be detected, will be subject to an out-of-warranty minimum charge of $500 because test and recertification are performed at a minimum. Units damaged beyond repair will be returned to the customer.
From time to time a customer may simply want to test, recertify, upgrade firmware and/or have a modification done to a protective relay, synchronizer, or MBT product while the unit is still in warranty. In those cases, the following charges will apply:
- 1 Test/Recertify Relay = $500.00
- 2. Firmware Upgrade & Test/Recertify Relay = $500.00
- 3. Modification & Test/Recertify Relay = To Be Determined
