Working in a Secure Environment
Removing Data from Memory (Option 006 Only)
Securing a Nonfunctioning Instrument
If the instrument is not functioning and you are unable to use the security functions, you must
physically remove the processor board and, for vector instruments, the A4 Memory Chip from the
instrument. Once these assemblies are removed, choose one of the following options:
• Discard the board (or boards) and send the instrument to a repair facility. A new board (or
boards) will be installed and the instrument will be repaired and calibrated. If the instrument is
still under warranty, you will not be charged for new boards.
• If you have another working instrument, install the board (or boards) into that instrument and
erase the memory. Then reinstall the board (or boards) back into the nonworking instrument and
send it to a repair facility for repair and calibration. If you discover that one or both of the
boards do not function in the working instrument, discard the nonfunctioning board and note on
the repair order that it caused the instrument failure. If the instrument is still under warranty,
you will not be charged for new boards.
For instructions on how to remove and replace boards, refer to the Service Guide.
