9 Maintenance
The BPHG 90 is a low maintenance instrument and the critical components have been
selectedtoensurealongoperatinglifetime.Periodicmaintenanceshouldbecarriedout
on a yearly basis by trained service personnel. The periodic maintenance actions are
summarizedinthesectionPeriodic Maintenance [}57].
User maintenance is limited to cleaning the instrument, ensuring an adequate level of
coolant for the closed loop cooling system is maintained, and replacing fuses when
needed.AfulldescriptionoftheseactionsisgiveninsectionHydrogen Gas Sensor [}58].
9.1 PeriodicMaintenance
Several system components of the generator (H
2
gas sensor, coolant pump, fans, H
2
purifier cartridge) may need a periodic maintenance. The instrument monitors the
operatingtimeoftheactivecomponentsand,whentheirservicetimeintervalhaselapsed,
maintenancewarningsareshown(seesectionOperating Information [}46]).
A first (noncritical) maintenance warning occurs when the operating time has reached
90% of the service interval of a component. After such a warning the instrument will
continue to operate normally but maintenance warnings are repeated at preset intervals
until the operating time has reached 100% of the service interval. At that point the
instrumentcannolongerbeoperateduntilservicehasbeencarriedout.

recommended to arrange a service visit immediately following the first maintenance
warning.
9.1.1 HydrogenGasSensor
The internal hydrogen gas sensor must be tested every 12 months by a trained service
technician.Itislocatedinsidethecabinetontherearpaneloverthevacuumpump.
9.1.2 VacuumPump
The vacuum (diaphragm) pump needs to be checked for wear and tear every 10000

9.1.3.1 CoolantReplacement
The coolant level needs to be maintained by the user (see section Cryocooler Coolant
Circuit [} 58]). The cooling circuit of the cryocooler will be cleaned and the coolant
replacedduringtheannualmaintenance.
