Thresholds
The EMF feature provides two warning thresholds: Service Due and Service Warning. When
either threshold is passed, an indication appears on the Maintenance tab on the GC
touchscreen ribbon.
Selecting the Maintenance tab brings up the Maintenance view. See Figure 33.
Figure 33. Maintenance view
Selections are available for any installed component.
Two thresholds are settable for any given item:
•Service Due: When the counter exceeds this number of injections, runs, or days, a red
warning icon appears on the corresponding button, and an entry is made in the
Maintenance Log.
•Service Warning: When the counter exceeds this number of injections or days, an orange
warning icon appears on the corresponding button, indicating that the component needs
maintenance soon.
Both thresholds are set independently for each counter. You can enable one or both, as
desired. The Service Due limit must be larger than the Service Warning limit.
Default Thresholds
Selected counters have default thresholds to use as a starting point.
If you want to change a default limit, enter a conservative limit based on your experience. Use
the warning feature to alert you when service is approaching, then track performance to
determine if the Service Due threshold is too high or too low.
For any EMF counter, you may need to adjust the threshold values based on the demands of
your applications.
