Chapter 8Maintenance and Inspection
8-4Chapter 8 Maintenance and Inspection
The digital hours meter can display nine items of
information, in corresponding display modes, about
the operational history of the unit. Use it as a guide in
scheduling periodic maintenance.
Display modes of the digital hours meter
The digital hours meter has the following nine modes.
H01:OPERATION mode
Displays the total number of hours the unit has been
powered on in units of 1 hour.
H02: DRUM RUNNING mode
Displays the total number of hours the drum has run
with tape threaded in units of 1 hour.
H03:TAPE RUNNING mode
Displays the total number of hours the unit has been in
fast forward, rewind, playback, or search (except for
stop and still) mode in units of 1 hour.
H04:THREADING mode
Displays the total number of times the tape has been
threaded/unthreaded.
H06:REEL SHIFT mode
Displays the total number of times that the reel has
been shifted according to the size of the cassette (L
cassette or S cassette) in use.
H12:DRUM RUNNING mode (resettable)
Same as H02 except that the count is resettable.
By resetting the cumulative drum running time after
changing the rotating head drum, this count can be
used as a guide in determining when to replace the
drum.
H13:TAPE RUNNING mode (resettable)
Same as H03 except that the count is resettable.
This count can be used as a guide in determining when
to replace such components as fixed heads and pinch
rollers.
H14:THREADING mode (resettable)
Same as H04 except that the count is resettable.
This can be used as a guide in determining when to
replace, for example, the threading motor.
8-5 Digital Hours Meter
H16:REEL SHIFT mode (resettable)
Same as H06 except that the count is resettable.
Displaying the digital hours meter
To display the digital hours meter
Press the SET/MENU button while holding down the
SHIFT button, then turn the JOG/SHUTTLE dial to
display the required item in the time data display area.
To jump to H01
Press the SET/MENU button while holding down the
SHIFT button, then press the CTL/TC/UB button.
Every time you press the CTL/TC/UB button, menu
item H01 or B01 is recalled alternately.
