Return Material Authorization (RMA) instructions
In the following, you will find detailed information regarding the process for Return Material Authorization (RMA).
Please note that in some cases, we can repair your system remotely. Occasionally, it is possible to repair a system remotely and save shipping and repair costs.
You will be charged for remote support if the unit is out of warranty. If you have a TCM® support agreement, the support hours spent will be deducted from your account. We strive to answer any RMA tickets within 24 hours and return your unit to you within 30 working days.
NB: Before creating an RMA ticket, we always recommend you try the following:
- Powercycle the device.
- Check the cabling.
- Or contact TCM® support for remote diagnostics.
How to create an RMA ticket
For faulty M-Systems or sensors, please create a support ticket:
- Go to our online ticket system and log on with your username and password.
- Under the Help Topic, select “Return & Repair”.
- Choose your product.
- Fill in the Serial Number of the product. (Mandatory)
- Enter the Return Address destination.
- Fill out the Ticket Details with as much detailed troubleshooting information as possible. Also, please attach screenshots or field notes. This will help us in the repair phase and give us valuable information that will help us ensure a more robust product over time.
Before you request a Return & Repair, we recommend using our fault checklist and attaching it to the ticket. When the Return & Repair ticket is created, you will be provided pricing information for generating a PO. Once the PO is received, KK Wind Solutions will issue an RMA number.

The faulty unit must be clearly marked with the RMA number given in step 2 before it is packed. Please do not write the RMA number on the faulty unit. This will require a new housing/cabinet and unnecessary extra costs.
Shipping and risks connected to returning a defect unit to KK Wind Solutions will be paid for and issued by the customer.
