To prevent personal injury or damage to the instrument, consider the following
before attempting service:
The procedures in this manual should be performed only by a qualified service
person.
Read the General Safety Summary and the Service Safety Summary at the
beginning of this document.
When using this manual for servicing, be sure to follow all warnings, cautions,
and notes.
The manual consists of the following sections:
Specifications contains a description of the instrument and the characteristics
that apply to it.
Performance Verification contains procedures for confirming that the
instrument functions properly and meets warranted limits.
The procedures described in this document should be performed every 12
months or after module replacement.
If the instruments do not meet performance criteria, repair is necessary.
