Preventive maintenance

Regularly scheduled HBM preventative maintenance services that include
cleaning, adjusting, inspection and calibration will help to:
Assure that the instrument is available whenever it is needed
l
Maintain optimum performance
l
Avoid expensive unplanned downtime and repair
l
Also, regularly scheduled maintenance is a predictable expenditure.
Except for the batteries, the instrument is a maintenance-free product, no
preventive maintenance actions are required.
Inspect the instruments batteries at least two times per year and preferably
every month. Damaged and/or lowered capacity batteries should be replaced
to meet the battery specified capacity and therefor the instrument specified
run-time using the battery. The main benefit of this inspection will result in
reliable use of the instrument.
If the instrument was stored for 4 weeks or longer first inspect the battery before
turning the instrument back to use.
Frequency of preventive maintenance depends on your application, workload,
and regulatory requirements.
The GEN5i system is factory calibrated as delivered to the customer. Swapping,
replacing or removing of boards may result in minor deviations to the original
calibration.
HBM recommends that every GEN5i system should be tested and if necessary,
calibrated, at one year intervals or after any major event that may effect
calibration. When in doubt consult the local supplier.
B.1.1

Hard Disk maintenance

When installed in the instrument, the hard disk drive is the "data center" of the
instrument. It holds all of the programs and recorded data. The CPU may be
the "brain" of the system, but if so, the hard drive is its memory and personality;
it is what makes the instrument what it is.
