Maintenance Datacolor 245™ User's Guide
•
NEVER use abrasive cleansers, razor blades, or other metal objects to remove
dirt or foreign substances from the calibration tiles. This will damage the tile
surface.
•
NEVER immerse the tiles in water.
•
Tiles that have scratches, chips, abrasions or cracks must be replaced. Signs of
wear on the tile surface will affect the accuracy of the calibration.
Storage
•
Large temperature variations will affect the accuracy of your calibration, requiring
more frequent calibration. The calibration tiles should be stored in an
environment that simulates the temperature of the samples to be measured.
•
Prolonged exposure to sunlight or other sources of ultra-violet radiation will
cause the color of the tiles to change. The tiles should always be stored in a
protective case or container away from direct sunlight and environmental
contaminants.
Cleaning the Black Trap
•
The black trap should be kept dust-free. Dust accumulating in the black trap
should be blown out with compressed air.
