General Instructions for Repair


WARNING Electrical shock hazard Unplug power supply cable before disassembly.

6.1.1

ESD
WARNING Electrostatic sensitive devices. Always use antistatic kit when working on electronic components. When removing and installing the Weighing cell, do not touch detector board and cable contacts. If no workplace with ESD protection is available, always touch the bottom housing or any other metal part of the balance before any contact with the electronics. Following this action, the board and the balance are at the same electrical potential as the person performing the work. Boards which are returned for repair must be packaged in the original antistatic packaging regardless of the fault. EEPROMs kept outside the balance must be stored on conductive foam. If soldering work is performed on the boards, a soldering iron isolated from the power supply (isolating transformer) is recommended.

Components which are sensitive to electrostatic discharge are marked with an ESD protection symbol.

LARS - LabTec Repair and Service Software


Operating instructions The LARS Operating Instructions are part of the software, i.e. an integrated help file. Press the F1 key or select the Help Menu.

LARS is a Service SW to verify, repair and diagnose PRODUCTs. It is available in the four languages German, English, French and Spanish. to verify means to remeasure the technical data and to compare these measured data with the nominal values listed in the tolerance table. to repair means to replace parts and configure the balance as to restore it to the original working order, i.e. a state in which it can perform the specified performance. to diagnose means to perform a test to conclude from symptoms/results whether a suspicious behavior is confirmed or not.

Operating system requirements LARS <V1.80 runs on any PC under Windows 95/98/NT/XP. LARS V1.80 runs under Windows XP Professional only.

LARSLock Hardlock (usage protection) required to run the service software. Part no. see Chapter Service Aids. LARS SW availability Find the LARS Service Software on the Service Expert DVD. However, to make sure to always have the latest version, download it from the LabTec Homepage http://www.extranet.mt.com.

Adjusting in the Service Menu


The adjustment of the HG/HR moisture analyzers is performed via the LARS software since the HG/HR moisture analyzers do not have a special service mode menu. To perform an adjustment you have to proceed as follows: 1 2 3 Connect HG/HR moisture analyzer to a PC via the special LC-RS9 cable, settings 1-3-0. Start LARS software on PC. Start HG/HR moisture analyzer in Service Mode: HR73/HR83 and HG53/HG63: Press and hold , then press simultaneously for approx. 4 sec. to start the service mode. HG-F: Press and hold , then press simultaneously for approx. 4 sec. to start the service mode. Perform the necessary adjustments according to the LARS software (see Section 7).

SOP/Work Instruction:

Preventive Maintenance for halogen and infrared Moisture Analyzers


Content: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Purpose Scope General Considerations PM Procedures Completion of work Typical duration Tools and References Annex

1. Purpose
This work instruction describes the procedures of Preventive Maintenance (PM) for halogen and infrared Moisture Analyzers. In order to establish an unified service as well as meeting our quality standards all METTLER TOLEDO trained and certified service technicians must follow this instructions. Depending on the country specific situation additional work steps may be performed, e.g. for Calibration Certificates or approved models.

2. Scope
Maintenance work is usually part of a METTLER TOLEDO Service contract. This SOP is the framework for PM and has to be followed. Only factory trained and METTLER TOLEDO certified technicians are allowed to execute preventive maintenance. All Moisture Analyzers of the families HR, HG, HB, as well as MJ are covered by this Work Instruction.

3. General Considerations
3.1 Recommended Service Intervals The Service Interval is defined by the customer depending on: - the importance of the Moisture Analyzers in the QA process - importance of the results delivered by the Moisture Analyzers - risk and liability of results - use of Moisture Analyzer (quantitative) - environment (dust, chemicals, etc.) Recommendation Depending on the accuracy required for the application and depending on the risk of the process, in case of inaccurate measurements or a malfunction of the Moisture Analyzers, we recommend the following maintenance intervals:
Risk: liability, life support Cost: loss, damage Preventive Maintenance Interval Absent-Normal Low-Medium Once a year Severe High Twice a year

3.2. Administrative Before starting work it is recommended to: - talk to the responsible person and explain the work to be done - Verify requirements with supervisor, e.g. approval for cleaning, adjustments, etc. ask responsible person for any other requirements - Get familiar with inter-company safety requirements

3.3. Calibration tests These tests are an extensive diagnosis of the instruments about its functioning and measurement properties. Typically, these tests are performed by an authorized and trained METTLER TOLEDO service technician and aim at the evaluation of the individual properties of the Moisture analyzer, i.e. repeatability, eccentric load, linearity and sensitivity. The values obtained of these properties can then be compared with the manufacturers Moisture Analyzer specifications whether they are met. The Calibration Procedure is described in the Document Test and Measurements for Mettler-Toledo (Calibration SOP) Doc.No:11793000.
