Intervals
Operation beyond the permissible environmental conditions and op-
erating states will shorten the intervals. The service life of consum-
ables may be shortened depending on the mechanical dynamics
due to mounted devices and movements. We have provided you
with a list of maintenance work and intervals for the associated com-
ponents below. The intervals are based on the total operating time
of the system and not on the operating time of individual compo-
nents. The data apply to laboratory conditions and a relative humid-
ity of 50% at 25 °C:
