Maintenance
14.1.
Relevant aspects
The
Vigilant
does NOT require any consumable material for its normal operation.
With use, problems can be detected, after some time, with the following elements:
•
Permanent storage.
The
Vigilant
uses an internal micro-SD memory card for permanent
storage of the measurement data. The device comes by default with a flash memory card with
a total capacity of 4Gb. Although
Vigilant
is using industrial range SD cards with pSLC
technology for this feature, and that minimizes the risk of data loss or corruption, the flash
technologies used in micro-SD cards are subject to failure, and thus incidents with the SD
storage are in the long term inevitable. Read carefully following chapters about
Micro-SD card
maintenance
to learn how to handle it.
•
Accuracy of measurements.
If after a time of obtaining the equipment, it is detected that the
measurement is not as accurate as expected, it may be necessary to refine the calibration. If
this occurs, please contact your equipment provider.
14.2.
Periodic inspections
The system requires periodic inspections that might be performed by a trained user. These inspections
should include the following points:
•
Log. During operation, the system performs a self-checking, creating a log with all the errors it
finds. Periodic checking of the error log messages should be performed.
•
LEDs. Inspect the proper operation of the different LEDs.
•
Temperature. Check for abnormal temperature on the unit.
•
Odor. Check no abnormal odor is present.
•
Mechanical defects. Inspects the unit as having not present mechanical defects.
•

•
Dirt. Clean with a dry cloth any dirt present on the unit.
•
Cooling. Make sure the cooling system of the cabinet works properly.
•
Communication. Check communications between the different components.
•
Connections. Ensure all cable connections are properly tight to the terminal, and that the
correspondent connector is well inserted in its socket. Ensure the Ethernet cable is well
inserted into its RJ45 female connector.
•
Attachment. Ensure the Vigilant is correctly attached to the mounting panel and does not
move or have an excessive looseness.
•
DIN rail. In case or DIN rail attachment ensures no oxidation, corrosion or dirt is present on
both parts of the DIN rail assembly.
•
Time configuration. Check for the correct time and date of the equipment.
