Preventive Maintenance
Due to its design, the Ectane
®
2 only requires minimal maintenance.
Because it has no moving parts, the Ectane 2 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.
Also, Eddyfi strongly recommends an annual calibration and a factory-performed
preventive maintenance by an officially qualified Eddyfi technician.
Cleaning the Instrument
The Ectane 2 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.
To removed stubborn stains, use a cloth moistened with soft soapy solution. Do not
use abrasive products or powerful solvents as they can damage the finish.
Wait until the instrument is completely dry before connecting the power cord and
cables.
WARNING! 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.
