1.0 Service
Predictive diagnostic functions including data acquisition and event logging built into the Aeroqual AQM60 allow
the user to determine when repairs are necessary without performing unnecessary, preventive maintenance
procedures.
There is, however, a minimal number of simple procedures that, when performed regularly, will ensure that the
monitor continues to operate accurately and reliably over its lifetime.
