5.1 Maintenance
5.1.1 Periodic Inspection
Check the operation periodically to keep the GX/GP in good working order.
Perform the following inspections, and replace worn parts as needed.
• Is the display and storage functioning properly?
If not, see section 5.2, “Troubleshooting.”
• Has the brightness of the LCD backlight deteriorated?
If replacement is necessary, see section 5.1.5, “Recommended Replacement Periods for
Worn Parts.”
5.1.2 Calibrating AI Modules
To maintain measurement accuracy, we recommend that you calibrate AI modules once a
year.
YOKOGAWA dealers can provide calibration servicing.
For details, contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer.
Required Instruments
To calibrate the AI modules, you need calibration instruments with the following accuracy
and resolution.
