Keeping Maintenance Records
Maintenance operations performed on a detector should be recorded in a log
book. The record should include the following:
•
Installation date
•
Contractor
•
Serial and tag number
•
Entries for every maintenance operation performed, including a description of
the operation, date, and personnel ID
If a unit is sent to SPECTREX or a distributor for service, a copy of the
maintenance records should accompany it.
