Glossary Of Terms
Several words or terms are used in this manual that are unique or specialized in use
with the embroidery industry or Melco embroidery equipment. A glossary of these
terms is located in the appendix section of the EMC 10/4 Operation manual. Refer
to that appendix for information on terms that may be unfamiliar to you.
Maintenance Philosophy
The maintenance philosophy used in this manual, and practiced at Melco, is to
isolate potential problems within the system to a "practical" replacement assembly.
Therefore, components are typically not repaired, but rather, a circuit board or
mechanical "assembly" may be replaced. In the process of isolating problems in the
machine, the person performing the trouble shooting must also practice good
trouble shooting techniques. Good trouble shooting techniques include, but are not
limited to, guarding against static electricity causing damage to machine
components.
Static Electricity And Grounding Strap Use
The embroidery peripheral electronic circuits are quite sensitive to static electricity.
Melco recommends that personnel use anti-static techniques when performing
maintenance on the machine.
Failure to use a grounding strap, or failure to practice other good maintenance or
repair techniques may cause damage to the machine and possible harm to
personnel.
Warranty Considerations
Some areas of maintenance require factory trained personnel to assure proper
service. If unauthorized personnel attempt to service these areas, the FACTORY
WARRANTY MAY BE VOIDED.
Therefore, it is recommended that Melco factory trained personnel be consulted
whenever the "FACTORY SERVICE ADVISED" statement is noted with a procedure.
Although areas marked
specifically for factory service are subject to voiding the
warranty if performed improperly, any service that is improperly performed may
cause the warranty to be voided.
System Overview
The EMC 10/4 Embroidery Peripheral alone is not a productive unit until it is linked
to an EDS program or the Disk Drive Option program. Once the EMC 10/4 is
downloaded by one of these programs, they combine into a system to produce
high quality embroidered goods.
