Maintenance and Recalibration
Maintenance
Instrument maintenance consists of keeping the instrument clean and
periodically checking the calibration. The Model 52-1, 52-5, and 52-6 Series
of instruments may be cleaned externally with a damp cloth, using only
water as the wetting agent. Do not immerse the instrument in any liquid.
Observe the following precautions when cleaning:
1. Turn instrument OFF and disconnect the instrument power
cord.
2. Allow the instrument to sit for one minute before cleaning.
Recalibration
Recalibration is required after any repairs or adjustments have been made to
the instrument. Recalibration is not normally required following instrument
cleaning, battery replacement, or detector cable replacement.
Note:
Ludlum Measurements, Inc. recommends recalibration at
intervals no greater than one year. Check the appropriate
regulations to determine required recalibration intervals.
Ludlum Measurements offers a full-service repair and calibration
department. We not only repair and calibrate our own instruments, but most
other manufacturers’ instruments.
Calibration procedures are available upon request for customers who choose
to calibrate their own instruments.
