8.3 Cleaning
Use a damp cloth to clean the transmitter. If necessary use a neutral cleanser. The transmitter must then be towel-
dried.
1.
Before doing any cleaning make sure that the device is switched off and all circuits are
disconnected.
2.
Do not use petrol, alcohol, acetone, ether, ketone, thinner or benzene for cleaning. These
substances can deform or discolour the device.
3.
Make sure the device is thoroughly dry before using it.
8.4 Changing the battery
When the battery symbol on the display ((1) on the transmitter, (1), (2) on the receiver) and the buzzer give a
warning signal, the battery needs to be changed. To do so (transmitter or receiver), proceed as follows:
1)
Switch off the device and disconnect all measurement circuits.
2)
Unscrew the back panel and remove the cover of the battery compartment.
3)
Remove the used battery.
4)
Insert a new battery in the correct direction (polarity).
5)
Put the cover of the battery compartment back on and screw it down.
1.
When putting in the battery, make sure the poles are in the right direction. If the battery
polarity is wrong the device will be damaged. It can also explode or catch fire.
2.
Do not connect the two poles of the battery with a conductive wire, and do not put the
battery in a fire, as it can explode.
3.
Never attempt to disassemble the battery! The electrolyte in it is highly alkaline and can
cause chemical burns. If the electrolyte comes into contact with skin or clothing, rinse the
affected areas with fresh water. If the electrolyte gets into the eyes, immediately rinse the
eyes with fresh water and get medical treatment.
1.
Before replacing the battery the device must be switched off, all measurement circuits must
be disconnected, and all conductive wires used for measurement must be removed.
2.
Use only the battery type specified in the Technical parameters.
3.
If the device will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery. If the detector is
contaminated by a leaking battery, send it to the manufacturer for cleaning and inspection.
4.
When disposing of used batteries, follow applicable rules for recycling, reclamation and
disposal.
8.5 Calibration
To make sure that the measurements made by the detector are accurate, it must be regularly calibrated by
company personnel. The recommended calibration interval is a year. If the detector is used frequently or under
difficult conditions, it should be calibrated more often. If it is used only seldom, the calibration interval can be
extended up to three years.
