1. Preventive Maintenance
Due to its design, the Ectane 3 only requires minimal maintenance.
The instrument has no moving parts, therefore the Ectane 3 also does not require any
preventive maintenance by the user. Only a regular inspection of the instrument is
recommended, to ensure that it is properly grounded.
Eddyfi strongly recommends an annual calibration and a factory-performed preventive
maintenance by an officially qualified Eddyfi technician.
Cleaning the Instrument
The Ectane 3 external surfaces (i.e., casing, and front panel), can be cleaned when necessary.
This section explains the procedure to appropriately clean the instrument.
To clean the instrument:
1. Make sure that the instrument is off and that the power cord is disconnected.
2. To bring the instrument back to its original finish, clean the casing and the front panel
with a soft cloth.
Do not clean the instrument with a spray or water jet.
If you do, connector contacts can remain wet and produce short
circuits when connected.
3. To remove stubborn stains, use a cloth moistened with soft soapy solution. Do not use
abrasive products or powerful solvents as they can damage the finish.
4. Wait until the instrument is completely dry before connecting the power cord and
cables.
2. Calibrating Batteries
To ensure that your batteries perform at their full capacity for the longest possible time, it is
important to calibrate them on a regular basis.
