Preventive Maintenance
The TimeProvider 5000 requires minimal preventive maintenance. Ensure the unit
is not exposed to hazards such as direct sunlight, open windows, water, or extreme
heat. See Environmental Requirements, on page 59, for electromagnetic
compatibility conditions that may cause damage.
Table 6-1 lists preventive maintenance measures to be performed periodically. Do
not disassemble components just for the purpose of inspection.
Safety Considerations
Follow your company’s safety guidelines and policies when working on or around
live equipment.

all TimeProvider 5000 equipment and modules. Plug the user-supplied wrist strap
into the TimeProvider 5000. Place IMC and IOC modules into static-free bags when

never attempt to vacuum the TimeProvider 5000.
