180 mm Paperless graphic recorders
INTRODUCTION
This document describes the disassembly of the 'front end' of a 180 mm paperless graphic recorder,
down as far as the display backlight replacement. Removal of the main 'micro' board and backlight
inverter board are included, but for replacement/retrofit instructions for i/o boards, the power supply
unit and the Serial communications and USB options the document HAHA028908U180 should be re-
ferred-to.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Ensure that the recorder is isolated from supply voltage for at least 15 minutes before starting to work
on it. This will allow the high voltages associated with the inverter board to dissipate safely and will
also allow the power supply unit to cool down. The user should be aware, however, that areas of high
temperature may exist even after this period has elapsed.
STATIC ELECTRICITY
CAUTION
These procedures involve the handling of components which are susceptible to damage caused
by the discharge of static electricity. All relevant personnel must be aware of static handling
procedures. It is recommended that a static safe container be available, into which any circuit
board(s) removed from the recorder may be placed.
DUST INGRESS
When replacing the display or backlight, it is essential to keep the front face of the display and the rear
face of the touch screen as clean as possible. The use of polythene or latex gloves is recommended
when handling the display unit. If possible, the replacement should be carried out in a Clean Area.
Particles of dust not only appear unsightly, but can also affect the performance of the touch screen, in
extreme circumstances, causing a continuous 'press' to be perceived by the recorder.

MEDIA PLATE REPLACEMENT (Cont.)
DISPLAY/ BACKLIGHT REPLACEMENT
Disconnect the backlight connector 'G'. Undo the six screws
'J' which secure the backing plate to the display housing.
Lift the backing plate/display assembly out of the housing.
Remove the stylus holder, then lay the assembly on the
workbench with the display facing upwards.
Undo the four screws 'K' which secure the display unit to
the backing plate.
If required, a new display can be fitted, and the recorder re-asembled. Otherwise, to replace the
backlighting unit, undo the screw 'L' and carefully remove the existing backlight assembly.
Fit the new back light, and secure it using screw 'L'.
Re-assemble the display to the backing plate remembering:
1. to ensure that the two flexi cables (display and touchscreen) are routed correctly through the rel-
evant apertures.
2. to re-fit the stylus holder

The main board can now be accessed

MAIN BOARD REMOVAL
Disconnect all looms to the main board and undo its four securing screws ('D'). The board may now be
removed. If a new main board is to be fitted, and no other work is to be done on the recorder, fit the
replacement board and re-assemble the recorder. If further work is to be done continue at 'Display
Housing Removal, below.
Note: if the type of memory device is to be changed (from Flash to SD card, or vice versa), a
new 'media plate' must be fitted).
INVERTER BOARD REPLACEMENT
Note: for recorders with status levels prior to B3, inverter board relacement is non-trivial. Refer
to the manufacturer's local service centre for advice.
For recorders with status levels B3 or higher, the inverter board is removed by disconnecting the two
connectors 'F' and 'G' and removing the two screws 'H'.
MEDIA PLATE REPLACEMENT
The media plate is designed to help the user to guide the flash or SD card into its connector on the main
micro board. Fitted at the bottom of the display housing, and retained by the screen plate, this flexible
strip also has cutouts for the USB port and for the lock catch (if fitted) and also contains areas which
allow the status LEDs to be viewed.
The variants are shown on page 4, as viewed from the inside of the recorder.
Remove the six screws 'J' which secure the backing plate to the display unit. The media plate can now
be replaced as required.
