QualificationThis manual is intended to assist service technicians and assumes the following:
– that the user is familiar with the current operating instructions
– that he has the necessary background experience in mechanics, electrical
engineering and medical engineering;
– that he has been authorized by the manufacturer to perform maintenance and
repair work;
– that he has access to the necessary auxiliary and measuring equipment.
LimitationsThis manual is not intended to provide an alternative to instruction courses
offered by the manufacturer.
Manual changesManual changes will be released as new editions, supplements or product
information.
Note:
Any modifications to circuit and component layout diagrams (SP/BP) do not
always affect footers (edition).
The current state of these diagrams is indicated in the index field of each
respective SP/BP.
The user/technician can use the respective marking on the printed circuit board
to verify whether the SP/BP comply with the actually existing printed circuit board
in the machine.
In general, this manual will be subject to modification.
