Chapter Five:  Maintenance

General Information

Periodically check for wear on the cables and inspect the unit for visible signs of damage.

Caution

Do not attempt to repair the transducer signal conditioner electronics
since replacement or movement of PC board components may
require complete recalibration of the unit.

Zero Check

The only maintenance task required is a periodic zero adjustment.  Refer to How To Zero the
Type 127/128 Transducer, page 19, for instructions on zeroing the transducer.

How To Clean the Unit

Periodically wipe down the unit with a damp cloth.
