5 Maintenance Plan for F3 Detectors.

5.1

Daily Maintenance

Conduct standard procedure every time the detector is switched on as follows:

Switch on

Ground Balance

Check detector with test piece
Operator is to check detector for damaged or missing parts at the start of every day.
At the completion of the day's work the operator must clean the detector and check
the detector for any damaged or missing parts, as described in the Operations Manual.
Do not use any chemicals or solvents to clean the detector.
Supervisor must ensure all operators conduct the above daily maintenance and that
all detectors are kept clean and good working order.
5.2

Weekly Maintenance

Conduct Mechanical & Functional
Supervisor to confirm that all detectors pass
5.3

Action When a Detector Fault is Discovered

When the operator discovers the detector is faulty or if the operator has suspicions the
detector is not working at full capacity the operator must immediately stop work and
remove the detector from operations.
The faulty detector must immediately be reported to the supervisor.
The supervisor is to conduct the Mechanical & Functional Testing. If the supervisor
confirms the detector is faulty a Detector Fault Report must be completed.
Faulty detectors must be clearly marked/labelled so it is clear to everyone that it must
not be used, the detector fault report must stay with the detector.
Faulty detectors should be removed from the area of operation when practical.
