9. Care and Maintenance
9.1. Care
Clean the instrument of any excess of liquid after use. Remove the housing lid and clean the tape housing.
This cleaning must be done very properly, in particular when corrosive liquids are gauged, such as strong
acids or caustic soda for instance.
Make sure that the sensing probe is completely stored in the storage tube after use (reading index shall
indicate less than 420 mm or 1 ft 5 ").
Check the tightness of the reading index screws and if necessary adjust the level, refer to section 7.5
"Reading index".
Store the instrument in a safe, dry and dust free location with an ambient temperature between +5°C to
+45°C, refer to section 10.12.
Check periodically (at least every 6 months) the continuity of grounding by measuring the electrical resistance
between the tape adaptor (or the sensing probe tube) and the quick connect coupler. Resistance should not
exceed 10
Ω .
Periodically clean carefully the sensor probe, the tape housing and the mechanical parts, as storage tube,
tape, with an appropriate solvent.
Note
: always reassemble the storage tube to the housing in the vertical position to allow the O-ring to seat
properly in the tube.
Check periodically the condition of the tape cleaner.
With such conductive liquids which form salts when drying, wash the sensing probe with water or alcohol and
brush it very gently with a soft brush to prevent a water detection error due to a short-circuit between the
electrode and the tube.
For transportation of the unit without its box, always carry the unit with the button handle directed to the body.
Equipment does not contain any dangerous materials inside which can harm the environment and people
health during normal use or disposal. However the utilization and recycling of the equipment after the end of
its life must be implemented by an authorized organization in accordance to local legislation.
Do not throw in rubbish but recycle wastes in accordance to environmental / local rules.
