About Instrument Maintenance
The sections that follow provide detailed instructions for maintaining the instrument and
calibration tiles. These instructions and tips will help to insure that the instrument continues
to perform properly over its life.
Tile Handling and Cleaning
Handling Tiles
•
Handle calibration tiles with extreme care. Do not drop them, or scratch the
glazed surface.
•
Always grasp the tile using its edges.
Cleaning Tiles
•
The calibration tiles should be cleaned before each use. Wipe each tile clean
with a soft, lint-free cloth.
•
A detergent, free of optical brighteners, fluorescent materials or photoactive dyes
should be used as needed to clear any oils, fingerprints, or other deposits. Liquid
dish detergent is a suitable detergent. The detergent/water solution should be
prepared as follows:
1 part detergent: 250 parts water
•
Use a few drops of the detergent solution to moisten a soft, lint-free cloth, and
gently wipe the tile surface. Rinse the detergent from the tile by wiping it with a
cloth, moistened with clean water.
