11.7Recommended Replacement Periods for Worn Parts

To preserve the reliability of the recorder and to use the recorder in good condition for an extended time, it is recommended that periodic replacements be made on parts.

The table below shows the recommended replacement period for expendable parts. The replacement period shown here applies when the recorder is used under standard operating conditions. For the actual replacement period, consider the actual conditions of use.

Replacement of parts other than the chart paper, pen, ribbon cassette, and internal light LED will be carried out by a OMEGA engineer or an engineer certified by OMEGA. Contact OMEGA when such replacement is necessary.

Note

The replacement period of the display and the internal light LED is the half life of the brightness. The deterioration of brightness varies depending on the condition of use, and its determination is subjective. Consider these facts for determining the actual replacement period.
