22. Care and Maintenance
When service is required, contact the Bartington Instruments helpdesk:

.
Regular maintenance and care by customers may prevent any issues arising and ensure that the
equipment can operate for longer without the need to be returned.
Check regularly that:
•
top and bottom of the sensor are fixed properly with no loose screws.
•
the seals on the sensor connector blocks are in good condition. If there are any gaps or there
is noticeable cracking then a small amount of silicon sealant can be applied to prevent water
ingress.
Note:
The system is lightly rain-proof, however it is important not to let any water sit on top
of the data logger for extended periods.
Note:
If the instrument is wet, allow it to dry before putting it away in its case. If necessary,
leave it out of the box overnight in a warm and dry environment.
Note:
Ensure that the connectors are kept clean. If the cable falls on the ground, and
dirt enters the connector, then it should be cleaned thoroughly. This can be done with a
compressed air canister of the type used on keyboards. Make sure the connectors are
clean and dry before plugging back in.
Note:
Avoid leaving the end of the sensor in a puddle when the equipment is placed on the
ground.
Note:
Do not drop the equipment on the ground. Avoid large impacts to the sensors.
