8. MAINTENANCE - INSPECTION
Carry out periodic maintenance and inspection to keep the equipment in good condition.
Pay particular attention to the items noted below and make replacement with spares when necessary.
Procedure
The recording head is a consumable part.
If there is no more ink, replace the head with a new one.
Ink consumption varies depending on the contents of records, but writing for about
6 months is possible for 6 points continuous recording at a recording paper speed of
25mm/h.
If the ink dry-up warning display "Ink end" appears in the display section, refer to
'5.2 Recording head installation' and replace the recording head with a new head.
To get spares, quote the following type.
Recording head type: PHZH1002
Recording is possible for a little while after the warning display "Ink empty"
appears.
(There is about 10% of the total amount of ink remaining)
In normal conditions, there is no need for preventive maintenance of the recording
head.
However, in a high-temperature or very dusty environment, periodically wiping the
nozzle surface prevents accumulation of dust and ink and so prevents nozzle
blockage that is liable to be caused by such accumulation.
Use the accessory 'ink absorption cloth' for wiping the nozzle surface.
If a recording head is left unused for a long time without using the cap, ink may
not be ooze out even if cloth is brought against the nozzle surface of the head. In
this case, moisten the ink absorbent cloth with water, press it lightly against the
nozzle surface for several seconds and then gently wipe the nozzle surface.
In continuous operation at a paper feed speed of 25mm/h, the recording paper lasts
about 31 days.
When there is only a small amount of recording paper left, red characters are
printed on the right-hand edge of the paper. When this happens, refer to Section 5.1
and replace the recording paper.
When there is no more recording paper, recording operations stop and 'Chart end' is
displayed in the display section.
To get supplementary paper, quote the following type.
Recording paper type: PEX00BL1-1000B
If the fuse blows, turn the power supply off
and then investigate the cause and replace.
You will see the fuse on lower left when the
front flap is opened.
Use a straight blade screwdriver to turn the
fuse holder anticlockwise and detach it.
Replace with an accessory 250 V/1A tubular
fuse.
