4 G4 ex Maintenance

4.1

Overview

The following chapter will provide the user with standard maintenance information
and instructions on how to remove and install G4 EX components.

4.1.1 Maintenance Support

If installation, calibration and maintenance assistance is required, the user can
contact the Totalflow Service Department.
USA: (800) 442-3097

4.1.2 How to Use This Chapter

It is recommended that the user develop a regularly scheduled maintenance
program. By establishing a maintenance program, the G4 EX downtime can be
minimized.
Record all items within this chapter in the maintenance practice procedures.
Practical experience permits updating this schedule over a period of time. This
results in many maintenance items being handled on a routine basis before
potential problems result in a failure.

4.1.3 Cleanliness

Because a G4 EX installation is primarily exposed to external environmental
conditions, it is important that it be regularly inspected for cleanliness, both
externally and internally. Foreign contaminants can cause damage to interior
mounted components that can render the G4 EX inoperable.

4.1.4 Front Mounted LCD

The user is informed of operational problems and operational limit violations by
observing the alarm codes on the LCD display. Troubleshooting techniques for
dealing with these alarm codes is presented later in the manual.

4.1.5 Returning Parts for Repair

If a Totalflow component is to be returned to Totalflow for repair, securely wrap it
in protective anti-static packaging. Before returning a component, call Totalflow for
a Return for Authorization (RA) number. Affix this number to the outside of the
return package.
Part shipments must be prepaid by the customer. Any part that is not covered by
the original system warranty will be shipped to the customer, F.O.B.
4.2

Backing Up Configuration Files

Before beginning any maintenance on the G4 EX, the user should collect the data,
and back up all configuration files to the laptop's hard drive or disk. This upload
safeguards data and allows the user to restart the unit without the obstacles
associated with reconfiguring the G4 EX should any problem arise.
Although there are Save buttons within the Entry mode screens in PCCU32 that
allow the user to back up Entry model data items, a complete system backup is
only accomplished by using the Save and Restore Utility or the 32-Bit Loader.
