Warning:  Do not work on the system unless the power is switched off or 
isolated. 
 
Caution:  Ensure that anti-static handling procedures are observed applied 
when working on the system, i.e. Anti- Static Wrist Straps 
Warning:   The Invalidate Guarantee label around the Detector Head is fitted 
to ensure that the Detector head is not tampered with. Any attempt 
to remove or disassemble the head will void the warrantee and may 
affect the detector calibration settings requiring the Detector Head 
to be replaced. 
Prior  to  conducting  maintenance  on  the  OMD  system  it  is  recommended  to  isolate  the 
Slowdown/Shutdown Relays and the detectors being maintained. In addition, if the detector head is to 
be removed from the base the detector cable should be detached from the detector. 
Isolating the relays will ensure that an alarm condition, which may occur during maintenance, is not 
transmitted to the AMS. 
Isolating the detector will ensure that faults or alarm, which may occur during maintenance, are not 
indicated on the Control Panel. 
Disconnecting the detector cable from the detector will ensure that light entering the sample chamber 
does not result in a backup alarm being initiated. 
4.1  ISOLATIONS 
To perform isolations on an engine it is necessary log in to Engineering access level. 
To access the Engine Isolation Menu select 3. Isolate in the Engineer Main Menu, Figure 107.

Engine  Isolates/De-isolates  all  detectors  associated  with  a 
particular engine. 
Detector  Isolates/De-isolates individual detectors. 
Relay  Isolates/De-isolates  the  Control  Panel  Slowdown  / 
Shutdown Alarm Relays.
