Introduction
Inspections are the most basic form of condition monitoring. Inspections are easy to do and
surprisingly effective at helping you spot equipment health issues. Proactive monitoring and
analysis of equipment information will allow Dealers to effectively intervene before problems
occur.

Note: Before adjusting product settings to comply with listed baseline TA1 values, consult SIS for
the latest specification values.
