2. Maintenance
2.1 General
Maintenance
ƒ Check calibration of your instrument annually to ensure it meets
original performance specifications.
ƒ Keep your instrument dry. If it gets wet, wipe dry immediately.
Liquids can degrade electronic circuits.
ƒ Whenever practical, keep the instrument away from dust and dirt
that can cause premature wear.
ƒ Although your instrument is built to withstand the regions of daily
use, it can be damaged by severe impacts. Use reasonable caution
when using and storing the analyser.
2.2 Periodic
Service
CAUTION!
Repair and service of this instrument is to be performed by qualified
personnel only. Improper repair or service could result in physical
degradation of the instrument. This could alter the protection from
personal injury this analyser provides to the operator. Perform only those
maintenance tasks that you are qualified to do.
2.3 Annual
Re-Calibration
While the sensors have an expected life of more than five years in
normal use it is recommended that the analyser is re-calibrated at least
annually, this is so that long-term drift on the electronics can be
eliminated. Local regulations may require more frequent re-calibration
and users should check with appropriate authorities to ensure they
comply with relevant guidelines.
2.4 Cleaning
Periodically clean your instrument case using a damp cloth. DO NOT use
abrasive, flammable liquids, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents as
they may damage the finish, impair safety, or affect the reliability of the
structural components.
