4. DAILY MAINTENANCE AND PERIODIC INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE
4.1 Maintenance Tools
(1) Measuring instruments
The following measuring instruments are used to confirm that the voltage is being supplied correctly
to the NC unit, to confirm that the wiring to the NC unit is correct, and to carry out simple
troubleshooting.
Table 2.1 Maintenance tools
Tool Condition Application
Tester To check that the wiring to the NC unit is correct
before turning the power ON.
AC voltmeter Measure the AC power voltage.
The tolerable error is ±2%
or less.
To measure the AC power voltage being
supplied to the external 24VDC power supply
unit.
DC voltmeter Max. scale 30V.
The tolerable error is ±2%
or less.
To measure the DC power voltage.
External power supply 24V (control section,
machine input/output interface)
Battery voltage
HR851 SA output
Synchroscope General measurement and simple
troubleshooting
Note 1) Currently, a high precision digital multi-meter is commonly used as a tester. This digital
multi-meter can be used as both an AC voltmeter and a DC voltmeter.
(2) Tools
Screwdriver (large, medium, small)
Radio pliers
4.2 Maintenance Items
Maintenance is categorized into daily maintenance items (items to be carried at set intervals) and
periodic maintenance (replacement of parts when life is reached).
Some parts will not function in a hardware manner when the life is reached, so these should be
replaced before the life is reached.
