6. REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE

1.If the detector is suspected of malfunctioning ,  please confirm that the electrical 
   amperage of the battery is sufficient and the test lead is not broken.
2.Before sending back the detector for repair, please dismantle the battery and describe 
   the phenomenon of malfunction,and then properly pack the apparatus to avoid damaging 
   it during transportation. For damages caused during transportation, the company would 
   assume no responsibility.
3.There is a fuse within the transmitter. If it is damaged during the guarantee period, it 
   can only be replaced by technical personnel of the company. If it is damaged after the 
   guarantee period, please replace it with a fuse of the same model by yourself. This fuse 
   is single metal wire fast-melting type, so do not replace it with a helical metal wire of 
   delayed type, otherwise the transmitting power and safety of apparatus cannot be 
   guaranteed.

6.3 Cleaning

1.Before cleaning work, please make sure that the equipment has been turned off, and 
   all the circuits have been cut off.
2.During cleaning work, please do not use benzene, alcohol, acetone, ether, ketone, 
   thinner or gasoline, which would make the equipment deformed or decolored.
3.After cleaning, use the equipment again when it is completely dry. 

Use a rag dipped with clean water or neutral detergent to wipe the transmitter, and then 
use a dry rag to wipe it again.

6.2 Checking of the fuse of the transmitter

The fuse of the transmitter can prevent the transmitter from being damaged by overload 
or wrong operations. If the fuse in the transmitter has already been melted down, the 
transmitter can only transmit weak signals. If the self-check of transmitter is passed but 
the signal transmitted is weak, it means that the transmission is sound but the fuse has 
been melted down. If no signal is found during the transmission status self-check of the 
transmitter, and the voltage of battery is normal, it means that the transmitter is broken 
and should be repaired by special technicians.

Specific methods and steps to check the fuse of the transmitter:

1) Break all the measuring circuits of the transmitter;
2) Turn on the transmitter and put it in the transmitting status;
3) Set the transmitting power of transmitter to level I:
4) Connect one end of the test lead to the joint

of the transmitter;

5) Insert the other end of test lead into the connecting socket of the transmitter;
6) Turn on the transmitter to search for the signals from the test lead, and move the probe 
    of the receiver towards the test lead;
7) If the fuse is not broken, the value displayed on the receiver will be doubled.

Check the polarity

Is the contact sound?

Reconnect the line

Is the probe broken?

Replace the probe

Has the probe been inserted to 
the bottom?

Properly insert the probe

Is the test lead broken?

Replace the test lead

Has the test lead been inserted 
to the bottom?

Property insert the test lead

The transmitter
cannot receive the
signals transmitted
by itself

Is the electrical amperage of 
battery sufficient?

Replace the battery

Did the machine automatically 
turn off ?

Turn on the machine again

Has the transmission button 
been pressed?

Transmit again

Is the fuse of transmitter broken?

Send it back to a closest 
service center
