Maintenance

 

5-1 Maintenance 

 

Perform all maintenance work stipulated here to ensure optimum performance of 
the NSA-series Industrial PC. 

 

 

 

 

 

Do not disassemble, cut, modify, or burn the product, and do not touch 

internal parts while the power is ON. Doing so may cause electric 

shock or fire. 

 

 

5-1-1 Data Backup

 

Always back up your data and keep the backup in a safe place because the 
NSA-series Industrial PC may have to be sent out for repairs or replaced if a 
malfunction should occur. 

 

5-1-2 Spare Units 

We recommend that you always keep spare Units on hand to get your system up 
and running again as quickly as possible in case a malfunction should occur or the 
screen becomes unreadable upon reaching the lifetime of the backlight. 

 

5-1-3  Backlights (LCD Module) 

The LCD module will have to be replaced if the contrast on the display declines 
and the screen becomes difficult to read. 

     

„

 Guidelines for Replacing the Backlight (LCD Module) 

A period of 50,000 hours of operation at room temperature with normal humidity 
can be used as a guideline for replacing the backlight.   
The service life of the backlight can vary significantly with the ambient temperature.   
It is shortened by extremely high or low temperatures, falling off sharply under 
low-temperature conditions. Request replacement of the backlight when the 
brightness has dropped to half of the brightness when it was new.   
Do not attempt to replace the LCD module yourself. Contact your OMRON 
representative to replace the LCD module.
