Section 2 – Field Service Manual
Section 3 – ITL Software Support Guide
Section 4 – Mechanical and Electrical Manual
Section 5 – Software Implementation Guide
Section 6 – Technical Appendices
The manuals will be delivered in a zip file with each section designed to contain the information relevant to a specific area of operation / development.
Quick Start and Configuration Guide:
– This section contains the essential information that a user needs to quickly assemble and configure the unit ready for installation into the host machine.
– The Quick Start and Configuration Guide should be download by most users. Eg. software engineers looking at how to operate the validator, project engineers evaluating their first unit, or installation engineers fitting the unit into a host machine.
Field Service Manual:
– This section contains the essential information that a field service engineer needs to clean or maintain the unit that is installed in a host machine and identify faults.
– The Field Service Manual is typically used by field service engineers who are maintaining the product.
