MAINTENANCE:
A. OPERATOR MAINTENANCE:
The EMIDS equipment has been designed as low cost low maintenance equipment. All components are potted
and sealed which reduces the amount of maintenance required. The only required operator maintenance is to inspect the
equipment for damage and keep the equipment clean of dirt, grime, and caked on mud.
• Outside Case Maintenance: Remove large clumps of mud with a brush or by hand. Use a dry soft cloth to remove
any remaining residue or dirt. NOTE: Do not submerge the equipment in water. This could result in damage.
• Display Maintenance: Remove excess dirt with soft brush and blow material away. Then clean the display surface
with a damp cloth.
• Connector Inspection: Check connector cavities for dirt and obstructions. If present, remove obstructions.
• Battery Cap Inspection: Remove the battery cap and inspect the gasket and sealing surface. Replace the gasket if
cracked or damaged. Remove any dirt or grime from both mating surfaces with a damp cloth. Lubricate the gasket
with a silicon based lubricant to keep it soft and prevent cracking.
• Battery Terminals: Inspect battery terminals for bent terminals. If bent, straighten with needle nose pliers. Note:
Do not work the terminal back and forth as this might cause the terminal to break.
B. DEPOT MAINTENANCE: Upper echelon maintenance will be performed by the supplier of the equipment. If the
equipment is beyond the user capability to repair, it can be returned to the supplier for test and evaluation. Upon
completion of the inspection, the supplier will notify the user if the unit can be repaired. If the equipment is not covered
by the warranty, an estimate will be provided for repair costs. If the equipment is not repairable, the supplier will specify
replacement costs. (Note: See warranty below for return procedures.)
C. EQUIPMENT STORAGE: Upon return to the facility, clean equipment as noted in operator maintenance above.
Remove batteries from all equipment to prevent possible damage. If batteries are left in the equipment, transmitters will
continue to send fault alarms every 10 minutes causing a continuous drain on the batteries and possibly resulting in
damaged or ruptured batteries. After cleaning, return the equipment to the storage cases. Store in a dry, room temperature
environment.
D. WARRANTY:
Qual-Tron, Inc. guarantees all products to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for 12 months from the date
of purchase. Damage due to misuse, accidents, lightning strikes, unauthorized service, environmental conditions beyond
the equipment specifications, acts of war or damage other than fair, wear and tear is excluded from this warranty.

Material Authorization (RMA) number. Once an RMA number has been assigned, ship the material to the address below
