9. Care and Maintenance
The Magmeter-2 requires no routine maintenance. Apart from the battery there are no user
serviceable parts.
9.1. Fuses
As a safety feature the Magmeter-2 is fitted with a thermal fuse. If the Magmeter-2 overheats,
which could occur as a result of the fitting of incorrect battery cells, the charging circuit will
be permanently isolated. In this instance, the Magmeter-2 must be returned to Bartington
Instruments for checks and repair.
WARNING:
No attempt should be made by the user to repair the unit. Repairs by
unauthorised personnel may be dangerous and could affect the safety of users, damage
the equipment and also invalidate the terms and conditions of the Warranty.

•
Use an air duster to blow debris from the connectors.
Caution:
Ensure water does not enter the system. The system must be completely dry
before the electrical supply is reconnected.
Caution:
Never use chemicals, such as solvents, when cleaning the Magmeter.
Caution:
Take particular care when cleaning around electrical connections. Bent or
damaged pins may cause the magnetometer to malfunction.
