7 Maintenance
The SHLD 2 source holder contains minimal moving parts, so very little periodic
maintenance is required. However, to prevent potential problems and comply with
radiation regulations, VEGA recommends the following maintenance schedule.
7.1 Cleaning
Clean the instrument in regular intervals. Note the following points:
•
Clean the instrument of substances that can impair the safety function.
•
Remove deposits of medium or other substances that could impair or
prevent the source holder from switching over
•
Take care that the lettering remains legible
•
Clean the adhesive labels and the connection box (version with
pneumatic switching mechanism) with water and a slightly damp rag.
•
Avoid creating electrostatic charges on the instrument. Never rub the
source holder with a dry cloth when cleaning.
7.2 Inspection
If used properly and if the specified ambient and operating conditions are
maintained, SHLD 2 requires no special maintenance.
Along with the regular inspections of the system, we recommend the following:
•
Visually check for corrosion on the housing, the weld joints, the outer
parts of the source holder, the lock, and the lock washers.
•
Make sure the source holder shutter (switching on and off function) is
working correctly.
•
Check all labels and warning signs for legibility.
•
Make sure all parts and screw connections are stable and firmly attached.
Take note of all safety instructions in this manual when
cleaning the source holder.
