Teledyne Lumenera RMA Process

• Request an RMA to initialize the process. Lumenera’s goal is to diagnose, repair and return your product in the most efficient manner possible. To help us do so, please provide us with as much information as possible. (Note: if this link does not open an e-mail template, please follow the instructions listed below).
• You will be assigned a case number and a TAC representative will contact you directly.
• Our Application Engineer (AE) will work with you in real time to try and resolve your issue/s and prevent you from having to return your product.
• In the event that your camera does have to be returned to Lumenera, your AE will provide you with an RMA number. Via e-mail you will receive your shipping label, pre-filled shipping paperwork and instructions regarding the return of your product.
• Package and ship back your product to Lumenera. See "Preparing your Camera for Shipment" section below.
• Upon receipt of your product, it will pass through triage for initial evaluation based on the information you provided. At this time, repair and maintenance charges will apply if:
  a) A product/camera is outside the warranty period
  b) The diagnosis of the problem reveals that the fault results from mishandling by the customer
• If applicable, TAC will contact you with a repair quote for approval, prior to the repair work being performed. No work will commence until formal written approval has been received.
• Repairs are completed; the camera is tested and cleaned for return to the customer.
• When the product ships, you will receive an automated e-mail specifying the date of shipment and the FedEx tracking number.
• During this process, you can use your assigned case number to track the progress of your RMA through our ERP system.

• Attach the supplied shipping label to the outside of your package. Product returned without an RMA label will be refused by shipping and returned to the originator.
• To ensure the protection and validity of your warranty, all products must be shipped in their original packaging, which includes an anti-static bag.
• If original packaging is not available, you must pack the product in a solid shipping box and tightly pad the area around the unit in the box to prevent it from shifting during transportation.
• Important: Proper ESD handling must be followed for all board level cameras, including placing each product in an anti-static bag. The warranty will be considered void on any non-enclosed camera products received without proper ESD protection.

• Shipping charges for returning product to Lumenera are the responsibility of the customer. Lumenera provides accurate and clear paperwork for customers to use when returning product. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that their returning product will clear customs by providing their courier with all required paperwork. Lumenera will not accept any COD products under RMA. Any COD RMA products will be refused.
• Warranty Product: Lumenera covers the return shipping costs back to the customer.
• Out-of-warranty/voided warranty repairs and maintenance: Shipping costs are the customer’s responsibility and charges will be added to the repair invoice.

Most camera repairs are completed within 10 business days of being received at Lumenera. Delays can be introduced into the process under conditions such as:

• When specific components or parts must be special-ordered to complete the repair
• When awaiting additional details from the customer on the symptoms or conditions surrounding the reported issue
• When obtaining customer approval on repair quotes
