Care and Maintenance

Service
Regular servicing by a Minebea Intec
technician will extend the service life of
your weighing platform and ensure its
continued weighing accuracy. Minebea
Intec can offer you service contracts,
with your choice of regular mainte-
nance intervals ranging from 1 month
to 2 years.
Repairs
Do not open the power supply (for
!
example, the YPS02-X..) while it is
under current. Allow approximately
10 seconds to elapse after discon-
necting the equipment from power
before opening the equipment housing.
Because the fitting of adjoining
surfaces is critical for the safety rating
of the equipment housing, the housing
must be opened and closed by a trained
technician. Make sure the required
torque is applied when closing the
housing. Scratches on the adjoining
surfaces that are decisive for the safety
rating of the equipment will terminate
the approval of the equipment for use
in hazardous areas/locations.
! Disconnect defective equipment from
power immediately. Repairs may be
performed only by authorized Minebea
Intec service technicians using original
Minebea Intec parts. Any attempt by
untrained persons to perform repairs
may lead to hazards for the user.
If a cable or cable gland is damaged
!
or defective, replace the cable as a
complete unit with all its connectors.
Cleaning
Make sure that no liquid penetrates
!
the weighing platform housing.
$ Unplug the weighing instrument
from power before cleaning. Clean
the weighing instrument regularly to
remove all impurities.
$ Use a damp cloth to wipe down the
equipment. The leveling feet are
covered with rubber buffers. In hazard-
ous areas/locations, use only a damp
cloth to clean the rubber buffers; this
prevents build-up of static electricity.
Devices with protection rating IP65 can
be rinsed down with a jet of water that
strikes the load plate from above.
Do not use high-pressure cleaning
!
equipment to clean the weighing
platform.
> If the water that you use to clean the
weighing platform is too hot or too
cold, the difference in temperature
between the water and the weighing
platform can cause condensation inside
12
IS...-X Models
the weighing platform housing. This
condensation may cause the weighing
platform to malfunction.
Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces
Clean all stainless steel parts regularly.
Remove the stainless steel load plate
and thoroughly clean it separately,
outside the hazardous area/location.
Use a damp cloth or sponge to
clean any stainless steel parts on the
weighing platform. You can use any
commercially available household clean-
ing agent that is suitable for
use on stainless steel. Clean stainless
steel surfaces by wiping them down.
Then clean the load plate thoroughly,
making sure to remove all residues.
Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe
down any stainless steel parts on the
weighing platform again. Afterwards,
allow the weighing platform to dry.
If desired, you can apply oil to
the cleaned surfaces as additional
protection.
! Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents that contain soda lye (caustic),
acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, sulphuric
acid or citric acid. The use of scrubbing
sponges made with steel wool is not
permitted.
Solvents are permitted only for cleaning
stainless steel parts.
Corrosive Environment
$ Remove all traces of corrosive
substances from the weighing platform
on a regular basis.
Cleaning the Dust Cover
(Only for Models IS06BBE-SX,
IS2CCE-SX, IS6CCE-HX, IS6CCE-SX,
IS12CCE-SX)
Clean the dust cover only outside the
!
hazardous area/location.
Wiping or rubbing the dust cover with
!
a dry cloth is not permitted.
$ After the cleaning the dust cover,
discharge any static electricity; for
example, by wiping down all surfaces
with a damp, grounded cloth.
Replacing the Dust Cover
> Replace damaged dust covers.
§ Place the new dust cover on the IS...-.X
and press down on the front and back
along the edges until the cover is firmly
seated.
Safety Inspection
If there is any indication that safe
operation of the IS...-.X is no longer
warranted:
§ Disconnect the equipment from power
> Lock the IS...-.X in a secure place to
ensure that it cannot be used for the
time being. Safe operation of the
power supply is no longer ensured
when:
– there is visible damage to the power
supply
– the power supply no longer functions
properly
– the equipment has been stored for a
relatively long period under unfavorable
conditions
– the equipment has been subjected to
rough handling during shipment.
In this case, notify your near-
est Minebea Intec Service Center.
Maintenance and repair work may be
performed only by service technicians
who are authorized by Minebea Intec
and who:
– have access to the required main-
tenance and repair manuals, and
– have attended the relevant service
training courses.
The seals affixed to this equipment
!
indicate that only authorized service
technicians are allowed to open the
equipment and perform maintenance
work so that safe and trouble-free
operation of the equipment is ensured
and the warranty remains in effect.
Storage and Shipping Conditions
$ The packaging used for shipping your
Minebea Intec equipment is optimally
designed to prevent damage during
transport. It is a good idea to save
the box and all parts of the packaging
for future storage or shipment of
the equipment. Only the original
packaging provides the best protection
for shipment.
$ Allowable storage temperature:
– 20°C to + 75 °C (– 4°F to + 167 °F)
$ Allowable humidity during storage:
max. 90%
$ Please refer to the information under
"Warning and Safety Information."
Instructions for Recycling the
Packaging
If you no longer need the packag-
ing after successful installation of the
equipment, you should return it for
recycling. The packaging is made from
environmentally friendly materials and
is a valuable source of secondary raw
material. For information on recy-
cling options, including recycling of
old weighing equipment, contact your
municipal waste disposal center or
local recycling depot.
