REI General Terms and Conditions
REI requires a 50% down payment to start the build of your dynamometer
system. The remaining balance is due upon delivery of your unit. Unit
pricing is F.O.B. Lexington, North Carolina. North Carolina State law
requires that we charge applicable sales tax on all systems delivered to
a North Carolina address.
REI Product Warranty
All REI systems come with a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
Computers supplied by REI are warranted by the original manufacturer.
Customer supplied computers are not covered by REI warranty.
Delivery and Shipping
Standard dynamometer systems (with the exception of the EMA’s and 30VS)
are typically delivered within 4 to 6 weeks from receipt of the 50% down
payment. Shipping arrangements are up to the customer however, REI will
be happy to assist in shipping arrangements. Shipping and crating costs
are not included in the base price. Please inquire about our shipping
options, if needed.
Installation and Operational Training
Pricing includes one day of on-site dynamometer installation and
training in the set-up and operation of the damper dynamometer (except
the 2VS). Travel cost to your facility for installation and training is
not included in the dynamometer pricing. This will be invoiced
separately upon completion of the training.
Preventative Maintenance and Calibration
From annual re-calibration (NIST) of your system to monthly preventative
maintenance visits, REI has a service and maintenance program to meet
your needs. Please call for specific pricing and details.
Computer Requirements
The information below provides the minimum customer-supplied computer
system requirements for operation of REI damper dynamometers and spring
raters. Standard desktop or laptop computers can be used for dynamometer
operation.
for crank type units:
Roehrig Engineering requires no specific computer specs, our software by
itself is not memory or speed draining. For collecting large
quantities of shock data it is always helpful to get as big of a hard
drive as possible (cheapest when new), as much RAM as you can and three
USB ports. Our systems need a USB port for the software dongle, a
USB for the Data card (has to go into the computer direct, NO HUBs
allowed on this cable) and a USB or serial port (9 pin, not video) for
the motor.

• 64 bit systems are hit and miss. We are
running on a few right now.
for linear actuator units (EMA, ASR):
These systems require a more stable platform because they run an
advanced second party software that Roehrig Engineering has less control
over. Roehrig Engineering would like to stress that we would like
to supply computers on all linear actuators if at all possible.
