7 Periodic Maintenance Operations
Introduction
The next two sections provide maintenance information for the 130-MC on the following topics:
Topics:
o Replacing the Compact Flash™
o RAM Backup Battery replacement
o Connector Assembly & Maintenance
o Update firmware
This section provides general maintenance procedures that increase the effectiveness and useful
life of your 130-MC Strong Motion Accelerograph.
In theory, no maintenance is needed - in practice it is to the user’s advantage to inspect a unit at
least every year or before and after any long-term field deployment. Shock, vibration and effects
the user has no control over (vandalism for example) may occur and cause leaks in the case that
result in dust or moisture accumulating inside and damaging components. For these reasons it is
best to perform an annual inspection, clean off the boards, ensure that all components are in
good condition and that socketed chips are properly seated and that all boards and connectors
are firmly mated. If you encounter a recurrent problem, please contact REF TEK.
CAUTION: Due to the large variability of CF cards available on the world market and the
resulting problems with compatibility due to memory layout, signal structuring and power
requirements, REF TEK cannot guarantee a CF card will work in a REFTEK data recorder
unless it is sold through REFTEK itself. REFTEK ensures compatibility through
communications with CF manufacturers and rigorous in-house testing. Some CF
manufacturers refuse to provide adequate information or factory controls to ensure that the
product being sold today is the same as the product sold earlier under the same part
number. CF cards not purchased from REFTEK may work at one temperature but not at
another, or may fail all together.
