Service & Repairs

If you have an instrument that requires service, please get in direct contact with our Service Manager to properly coordinate the return of the equipment to our factory.  In many instances, we are able to troubleshoot and diagnose the problem through direct communication with you.  After an initial discussion, our service manager will make the determination to either send parts for you to service your instrument at your location or to have you return the equipment to us for servicing.  If you purchased your instrument through one of our distributors, please contact them first.

Loaner Instruments

We offer loaner instruments to customers on a case by case basis.  Please consult with our Service Manager for availability and details.  All service/repairs carry a 30 day warranty from invoice date.

Warranty Policy

All of our products are guaranteed for one complete year, parts and labor from the invoice date.  The customer is responsible for returning the goods to PP Systems.  The warranty excludes all defects caused by incorrect operation or maintenance, misuse, alteration, accident or transportation.

Procedure for returning instruments for repair

  1. Contact our Service Manager to alert him about your plans to return equipment to us and provide payment method (i.e. purchase order, credit card).  For international customers, you will be provided with explicit instructions on return paperwork and shipping instructions.
  2. Safely pack your equipment in a sturdy cardboard box (double-wall preferably) using the appropriate packing materials (bubble-pack, popcorn/peanuts) to ensure safe shipment.   The instrument should be safely wrapped in its own bubble-pack or plastic bag keeping it separate from the packing materials inside the box.
  3. Include a note inside the box with information relating to the problems with the instrument and make sure that you also include your full contact information including name, address, telephone, fax and email address.
  4. Tape the outside of the box using heavy-duty fiberglass tape.  Make sure that you tape all sides of the box to eliminate anything from outside getting in.

We strongly recommend that you use "door to door" service when shipping your equipment to us (UPS, Fedex, DHL, TNT, etc.).   DO NOT USE THE POSTAL SERVICE WHEN SHIPPING EQUIPMENT.
