General Maintenance 

 

 

To avoid contaminating the PWB with oil from your fingers, handle it by the edges or wear  gloves.  If the 
PWB becomes contaminated, refer to the cleaning procedures given later in this section

.

 

 

WARNING 

Dangerous  voltages  exist  when  energized.    Exercise  extreme  care  when  working  on  an 
energized circuit.

 

 

Cleaning 

 
Clean the front panel and case with a mild solution of detergent and a damp sponge. Clean dust from the 
PWB with clean, dry, low pressure (<20 psi) 

 

CAUTION 

Do not use aromatic hydrocarbons or chlorinated solvents for cleaning.  These solutions will 

react with the plastic materials used in the instrument.

 

 

Calibration Information 

 
The Calibration Procedure should be performed annually and any time the instrument has been repaired.  The 
calibration  procedure  should  be  performed  at  an  ambient  temperature  of  23

5

C  (73.4

9

F).  The 

procedure consists on internal components tolerance verification and calibrating the meter reading to agree
