6.2 Firmware Update
The firmware is stored in a FLASH memory and can be updated if needed.
6.3 Spare Parts
Recommended spare parts stock
In order to minimize the downtime in the event of a malfunction, it is recommended to have certain spare parts on
stock. For larger systems with more than 15 iPOINTs, doubling of the recommended stock quantity is
recommended.
Furthermore, it is advised to have several spare ILR
®
Tags in stock, corresponding to approx. 0.5 – 1 % of the total
number of ILR
®
Tags.
Preparing the spare parts
In general, all spare parts can be used immediately upon delivery from IDENTEC SOLUTIONS. However, for the
iPOINT there are various settings of the communication parameters.
In order to keep down times short it is recommended that these parameters are set before the component is
entered into the spare part stock system. In most cases all units within an identification system are used in the
same way so that only one setting is required.
Examination and repair of exchanged parts
The data ILR
®
Tags and iPOINT X devices are complex electronic power units on which the customer can carry out
only very limited repairs. Normally the repairs are carried out at IDENTEC SOLUTIONS or possibly at a distributor.
Before a part is sent in for repair a short examination should be conducted.
