Free Program for Service Exchanges
FAST provides an Exchange Program, at no extra cost, if a unit should fail. In
the event of failure, you have the option of (1) receiving a replacement prod-
uct from our factory, freight prepaid; (2) exchanging the failed product for a
replacement product at one of our authorized local service centers; or (3)
selecting on-site repair or replacement of the failed unit by one of our autho-
rized local service centers.
To take advantage of this program, simply call our toll-free customer service
number, 1-800-243-9271. If you elect to receive an exchange unit from the
factory, a replacement unit will be sent immediately. Upon receipt of the re-
placement unit, simply return the failed unit to the factory, freight prepaid,
using the same carton and packing material in which the replacement unit
was shipped. The unit will be replaced free of charge, if still under warranty,
and if the product shows no evidence of abuse or alteration. If the unit is not
under warranty, you will pay repair charges and shipping costs to and from
the factory. If you should elect on-site repair and the unit is under warranty,
you will not be required to pay the costs of reasonable on-site labor, but will
be required to pay the service agency’s travel charges to and from the on-site
location.
Any minor adjustment or calibration and any labor costs for the replacement
of probes will be made at your expense.
The FAST Exchange Program is available to any FAST Domestic Customer
whose account is current, and applies to all FAST Timers, Computers and
Controllers.
