Frequency Task
Every Year Measuring Cell
Replace the o-rings and Cell Windows and clean the interior surfaces to
remove any contaminants.
This schedule is a minimum requirement. If other conditions are found to
be present (see “Measuring Cell Maintenance”) more frequent cleaning
may be required.
Every 2 Years Chopper Assembly, Optical Bench
Replace the Chopper Motor Drive Belt and Chopper Wheel Bearings.
If there are recurring analyzer alarms that suggest problems with the
Chopper Wheel or other related parts in the Chopper Assembly, replace
these parts sooner (that is, “w ALC”, “w PMT signal”, “f Wheel speed”,
or “w Zero Drift”).
See “Chopper Assembly Maintenance” in this chapter.
