5. Maintenance

 CAUTION

In conjunction with the periodic inspection of 

• 

equipment or machinery, do a functional check at least 

once a year, and a Gal response level check at least 

once every three years.

Replace the detector if any abnormality is found in the 

• 

functional or Gal checks.

Before transporting, be sure to fasten the locking 

• 

screw. Otherwise vibration or shock may damage the 

detector.

Gal response level check

Remove the side panel.

1. 

Loosen the level adjustment nut sufficiently so that the 

2. 

base can be moved left and right, and remove the two 

level adjustment screws.

Using the level adjustment nut as the axis of rotation, 

3. 

gently rotate the base clockwise and note the pointer 

indication on the scale when the device is activated. 

Repeat this procedure two or three times, and check that 

the average reading falls within the red region of the 

scale.

  Handling Precautions

In this procedure, slight variations in the reading 

may occur according to the adjustment of the 

level at the time of installation and the zero 

adjustments for the scale plate, in addition to the 

way in which the base is rotated.

After the inspection has been completed, return the 

4. 

detector to its former state, and fasten securely.
