Chapter 6:
LPX-200 Routine Upkeep and Care
INTRODUCTION
The LPX-200 System is a reliable, easily maintained,
industrial x-ray device. With modest amounts of upkeep and
care, this system will provide years of trouble-free operation.
This section provides inspections and maintenance practices to
follow to reduce the possibility of equipment breakdown and
optimize the unit
’
s reliability.
Some of these practices are conducted in accordance with a
pre-arranged schedule (inspections and cleaning), while others
require attention only when the need arises (re-pressurizing or
re-filling the Tubehead).
INSPECTION CHECKLISTS
To assist in early detection of potential problems, adhere to the
“
Inspection Checklists
”
in the following tables. Note ALL
discrepancies discovered during these inspections and
immediately correct them to avoid equipment breakdown.
Perform the inspections described in these checklists on a
weekly basis.
NOTE:
When operating in harsh environments, perform the
following inspection checks more often due to the
higher concentration of dust and debris
accumulating within each assembly.
