Cleaning Guidelines
Cleaning the Beam
Follow the steps below to clean and lubricate the beam.
CAUTION: This procedure should be performed only by a qualified
service technician or by the system administrator.
1. Turn off the 2500 and remove the power cord.
2. With a clean, dry cloth, wipe the center connecting rod and the two
outer beam guide posts until no lubricant or dirt remains.
3. With the beam raised, place a drop of TriFlow lubricant on the lower
part of each of the two outer beam guide posts.
4. With the beam lowered, place a drop of TriFlow lubricant on the
upper part of each of the two outer beam guide posts.
5. Move the beam down and up, in a plunging motion, so the lubricant
spreads evenly along the outer beam guide posts.
6. With a clean cloth, wipe excess lubricant from the outer beam guide
posts.
Replacing the Beam Filter
Follow the steps below to replace the beam filter.
CAUTION: This procedure should be performed only by a qualified
service technician or by the system administrator.
1. Turn off the 2500 and remove the power cord.
2. Remove the two thumb-screws on either side of the clear-plastic
beam filter cover plate.
3. Remove the beam filter cover plate.
4. Use needle-nose pliers to remove the beam filter. Examine the beam
filter and replace it if it is dirty or wet.
Cleaning Programming
Module Contacts
It is extremely important to keep the programming modules clean to
extend the life of the contacts. To clean the modules at the appropriate
intervals, as described below, you must
keep an ongoing record
of the
number of device insertions for each programming module. One method
of logging the number of devices that have been programmed is to use
TaskLink’s Session Data Logging feature. This option logs all TaskLink
operations and records the results in a file on your PC, thereby tracking the
number of devices programmed on the 2500.
Follow the procedure below to thoroughly clean the programming
module contacts after every 10,000 devices (which is weekly if you
process 40,000 devices per month on the module). Perform the procedure
more often if you experience continuity-related programming problems.
If you notice debris in the programming module at any time while
running devices in a job, press
STOP
and clean the module with
compressed air. You can then press
START
to continue running the job.
