Chapter 11 Maintenance and Inspection 11-4 Moisture Condensation When the unit is suddenly moved from a cold to a warm location, or used in a very humid place, moisture from the air can condense on the head-drum. This is called moisture condensation. If the tape is run in this state, it can adhere to the drum. To prevent such a condition from occurring, the unit is provided with a moisture detecting function. If moisture condenses on the head-drum while the unit is in use, the ALARM indicator lights and "ERR-10" is displayed in time data display area 1. Z ALARM indicator If moisture condensation occurs, "ERR-10" appears in time data display area 1. If this happens, the drum and capstan motors stop and the cassette is automatically ejected. Then, the drum starts to rotate again to dry its surface. In this state, the unit is not operable. When the moisture has evaporated, the error message disappears and the ALARM indicator goes off. If "ERR-10" appears and the ALARM indicator lights immediately after powering the unit on Leave the unit powered on and wait until the error message disappears and the indicator goes off. While the indicator is lit, you cannot insert a cassette. When the indicator goes off and the error message disappears, you can use the unit. If you move the unit from a cold to a warm location Leave the unit powered off for about 10 minutes, in order to give the unit time to detect moisture condensation. 11-4 Chapter 11 Maintenance and Inspection
