4. Maintenance and Troubleshooting
This chapter deals with the basic maintenance that a user can apply to the TomoScan
FOCUS LT. The maintenance operations explained below help keep the instrument in
good physical and working condition. Because of its design, the TomoScan FOCUS LT
requires only a minimum of maintenance.
4.1 Preventive Maintenance
As the TomoScan FOCUS LT has no moving parts, it does not require preventive
maintenance. Only a regular inspection of the instrument is recommended to ensure
that the TomoScan FOCUS LT has adequate grounding.
The TomoScan FOCUS LT must always be completely inserted into the housing and
the front panel screws properly tightened in order to ensure proper grounding of the
instrument. Improper grounding of the instrument can produce electrostatic
discharges that could damage the electronic components or cause electric shocks.
4.2 Instrument Cleaning
The external surfaces of the TomoScan FOCUS LT, that is, the housing and the front
panel, can be cleaned when needed. This section provides the procedure for the
appropriate cleaning of the instrument.
