PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
The Quality Assurance Tests described in CHAPTER 6: ACCEPTANCE & QUALITY
ASSURANCE TESTS, SECTION: QUALITY ASSURANCE TESTS, should be performed
periodically as stated.
Tests must be performed in an environment where the temperature is stable within a range
of +50°F to +85°F (+10°C to +30°C) and the maximum relative humidity is 90% non-
condensing. The unit should be powered-up for at least one-half hour prior to performing any
measurements. No other precautions need to be observed.
CAUTION
If these environmental requirements are not followed,
the instrument may display erroneous readings.
Note: Never put a sharp instrument like a pen into the Well or Collimator. If the aluminum
coating of the NaI Detector is scratched, allowing light and moisture to penetrate, the
detector will be ruined. The rod source is plastic and can be safely placed against the
surface of the detectors when handled carefully.
If the unit fails to pass Auto Calibration Test or any other test, the user
should not attempt to
perform any adjustments to the system. In this event, please contact Capintec’s Authorized
Service Center for further assistance.
The Quality Assurance tests should be immediately performed if:
• The equipment has been subjected to extreme physical stress,
• Liquids enter the readout unit, and/or Probe and Well detectors, or
• Any cable shows signed of damage
