1.1.4 General sensor maintenance

Inspection/maintenance on monthly basis:
 Check/tighten all sensors and sensor mounting details to avoid loosed fixation.
 Check all sensors for moisture, cleanliness and damages.

All the sensors used in this system are standard equipment and they are supplied with a
sub-supplier manual containing maintenance instructions, refer User Manual section 11.
These manuals are to be considered as the main source of maintenance instructions,
but special maintenance required due to application/installation is mentioned in this
document if applicable.

1.1.5 Cleaning
Conditioned that the control cabinet is located in a clean and dry area, no regular
cleaning is required.

1.2 Corrections and minor repairs

If any physical work is to be done on the control cabinet, the power shall be turned off
using the main switch, ref Circuit Diagrams in section 10.3, or necessary safety
precautions must be taken if any work is to be done on a hot cabinet.

Normally corrections are limited to replacement of broken parts.

1.3 Major repairs and modifications

Only to be done by qualified National Oilwell Varco personnel.
