• The machine and the environment needs to be clean.
• Keep the machine or control system away from hazardous substances, dust, water, excessively damp atmosphere or high temperature.
• Periodically check the machine to ensure that all components are functioning properly.
• Perform machine calibration to ensure that measurements remain accurate.
• Opening of the machine or repair has to be implemented by trained personnel. Make sure the machine is running smoothly after any repairs or after removing a part.

Precautions:

• Smartindale Abrasion Tester requires routine upkeep.
• Smartindale is factory calibrated for pressure value. Thus it can only be calibrated and maintained by a qualified trained person.
• Never modify the tester without the permission of ChiuVention.
• Always follow the user handbook to avoid damage.
• Wait 10 seconds after turning it off before turning it on again to prevent circuit damage.
• Keep away from strong electromagnetic sources.

• Clean the instrument and control system on a routine basis.
• Keep the instrument not in contact with corrosive media, water, dirt, high temperatures and high humidity.
• Maintain and inspect parts and components on a regular basis.
• For accurate measurement value, the machine should be calibrated regularly.
• Unprofessional maintenance personnel or any disassembly of the instrument will result in recalibration of device. All repairs and strip down should be effected after the measurement to check the performance.

• To keep the machine in good working order, clean it after every test.
• Apply anti-rust oil to the fixture after use and store it.
• Turn off the power before swapping the sensor or inserting or removing cords. Static electricity might harm the amplifier or circuit if the sensor cable hangs.
• To maintain accurate readings, calibrate the load cell on a regular basis.
• To guarantee smooth operation, periodically lubricate moving parts.
• If the machine breaks it should only be repaired by a professional or the manufacturer.
• Always use the same original model while replacing parts.
• ChiuVention will not be accountable for any issues if the instrument is not used as directed.

• Daily Maintenance
  • Cleans and dries test bench wiping surface rag.
  • Inspect for perforations or faulty placement of the diaphragm.
  • Look for hydraulic oil leaks.
  • Make sure the boosting system engages and works properly.
• Weekly Maintenance
  • Wipe down the clamps so that you don’t get dust or strands of yarn building up!
  • Inspect hydraulic oil level and top up as necessary.
  • Check hoses and connectors for signs of damage or looseness.
• Monthly Maintenance
  • Change out old diaphragms and seals if necessary.
  • Dry out of the system air bubbles.
  • Check data stability—recalibrate if needed.
  • Check power cord and wires from damage.
• Periodic Maintenance
  • Replace hydraulic oil and clean oil system.
  • Perform Full calibration of the pressure sensor.
  • Inspect the software and all electronic components.
  • Have a professional service technician inspect the system completely.

Precautions

• Regularly clean and sanitize the instrument. Also clean the control system.
• Keep the instrument or control system away from corrosive media.
• Avoid using alcohol or solvent cleaner to clean.6
• Avoid water, dust, extreme temperatures, and excessive humidity.
• Maintain and inspect parts and components on a regular basis.
• Calibrate the instrument on a regular basis. This will guarantee the precision of the measurement value.
• Please use clean water to clean the protective covers and test fixtures.
• The instrument must not be disassembled by untrained maintenance and verification staff.
• Measurement performance testing must be performed following each disassembly and repair. This will prevent instrument misalignment.
