Use the digital horurs meter as guidelines for scheduling
maintenance.
Digital hours meter
The digital hours meter keeps cumulative counts of the
total operating time, the head drum rotation time, the tape
transport operating time, and the number of threading/
unthreading operations. These counts can be displayed on

periodic maintenance checks.
