Care and Maintenance
The KVM instrument is basically service free, as long as the specified environmental conditions are
adhered to. As a result, service and maintenance is restricted to cleaning of the equipment and calibration
at intervals stipulated by the application for which the instrument is used.
The insulation of all cables should be periodically checked for damage. If any damage to the insulation is
detected then a new measuring cable should be ordered from HIPOTRONICS.

Cleaning the Instrument
The instrument should be cleaned with a lint free cloth, slightly moistened using mild household cleanser,
alcohol or spirits. Caustic cleansers and solvents (Trio, Chlorothene, etc.) should definitely be avoided.

Instrument Calibration
When delivered new from the factory, the instrument is calibrated in accordance with the calibration report
provided. An annual calibration of the instrument is recommended.
As the calibration process is fairly extensive, the instrument is recommended to be calibrated and, if
necessary, adjusted at HIPOTRONICS
’s factory. An updated calibration report will then be issued.

Instrument Storage
If the instrument is to remain unused for any length of time, it is recommended to leave the wireless module
on trickle charge so that the internal batteries do not completely drain and become unuseable. In addition,
it is advisable to protect this high precision instrument from moisture and accumulation of dust and dirt with
a suitable covering.
