PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
The Quality Assurance Tests described in CHAPTER 5: ACCEPTANCE & QUALITY
ASSURANCE TESTS, should be performed periodically as stated.
Tests must be performed in an environment where the temperature is stable within a range
of +50°F to +85°F (+10°C to +30°C) and the maximum relative humidity is 90% non-
condensing. The unit should be powered-up for at least one-half hour prior to performing any
measurements. No other precautions need to be observed.
CAUTION
If these environmental requirements are not followed, the instrument may display erroneous
readings.
NOTE: Never put a sharp instrument like a pen into the well or collimator. If the aluminum
coating of the NaI detector is scratched, allowing light and moisture to penetrate, the detector
will be ruined. The rod source is plastic and can be safely placed against the surface of the
detectors when handled carefully.
If the unit fails to pass Autocalibration Test or any other test, the user
should not attempt to
perform any adjustments to the system. In this event, please contact Capintec for further
assistance.
The Quality Assurance tests should be immediately performed if:
•
the equipment has been subjected to extreme physical stress,
•
liquids enter the readout unit, and/or probe and well detectors, or
•
any cable shows signed of damage
SERVICING
The system is covered by a one year limited warranty, under normal conditions of use.
Other than the printer’s ink cartridges and the isolation transformer’s fuses (see Fuse
Servicing in this chapter), there are no user serviceable parts contained in the system.
Every five years, the system should be returned to the manufacturer for a complete
verification.

Arm stand.
