Installation and Maintenance
Installation
Preparation: Set the tool to “Maintenance Mode” and ensure all high-voltage and high-vacuum sources are isolated.
ESD Safety: Use a calibrated ESD wrist strap; the logic-level chips on this board are sensitive to static voltages.
Connector Alignment: Given the high number of D-Sub pins, ensure the connectors are perfectly aligned before tightening to prevent bent pins or intermittent signals.
Maintenance
Pin Inspection: Periodically check the female D-Sub ports for oxidation or “socket spread,” which can cause erratic sensor readings.
Firmware Verification: During replacement, confirm the revision number (e.g., Rev 004) matches the original to ensure software compatibility.
Cleaning: Use only compressed dry air or approved electronic cleaners; avoid abrasive contact with the PCB surface.
