8. INSTRUMENT MAINTENANCE

8.1. Maintenance Schedule

There is no Internal IZS offered for the T100H.

8.2. Predictive Diagnostics

Because the T100H’s internal pneumatics are monitored in a different manner than those of the T100 there are

some differences in how the instrument’s test functions are used as predictive diagnostics. Table 8-1 of this

addendum supersedes Table 9-2 of the T100 Manual
