Maintenance
We recommend following the instructions and precautions herein to achieve high
reliability of the programmer for a long period of time.
The programmer maintenance depends on character and amount of its use.
Regardless, the following recommendations are generally accepted:
Do not use and store the programmer in dusty places.
Humidity accelerates sedimentation of debris and dust in ZIF socket.
After end the job cover the ZIF socket of the programmer with enclosed dust cover.
Do not expose the programmer to direct sunlight or position near a source of heat.
Daily maintenance
Check the ZIF sockets of the programmer and the socket converters for their condition
and wear. Remove debris, dust and grime from the ZIF sockets with clean, dry and
compressed air. Clean the ZIF sockets both in closed and opened position.
Weekly maintenance
Perform the “Selftest plus” for every programming module.
Quarterly maintenance
Gently clean the surface of the programmer with isopropyl alcohol or technical alcohol
on a soft cloth. The LCD clean with a soft cloth moisten in water only. Isopropyl alcohol
may damage surface of the LCD. Carefully clean gap between top cover and display. A
lot of dust or grime may cause an unwanted touch on touch screen.
Perform the calibration test using 48 Pins Calibration test POD, Type I.
Biannual maintenance
Check amount of dust or dirty in programmer. If you feel that a lot of dust or dirty is in
programmer, clear it by vacuum cleaner.
The warranty does not apply to any damage of programmer or its part caused by dust or
dirt.
Warning:
The ZIF socket of the programmer and the socket converters are considered as
consumables. The life cycle of the ZIF socket of the programmer' is about 25.000
mechanical cycles. The life cycle of ZIF sockets of the socket converters is in generally
from 5.000 to 10.000 mechanical cycles, even if the life cycle of some specialized BGA
ZIF sockets can be about 500.000 mechanical cycles. Programmed devices,
environment and ZIF maintenance have direct influence to actual electrical lifetime of
ZIF socket (it means that ZIF socket does not cause programming failures yet). Keep
fingers away from contacts of ZIF socket, because contacts of the ZIF socket fouled by
smear and grime from fingers may cause the programming failures. Change the ZIF
socket or the socket converter if you noticed increased number of programming failures.
The warranty does not apply to the ZIF sockets that are wear or grimy and which cause
large amount of failures during working with programmer.
