8  Maintenance 

8.1 

Cleaning sample sensors 

Switch the power off and remove the power cable. Then open the instrument by removing the top 

cover. 
 

 

Lift off the top cover 

 

Inspect the four sensor lenses inside the funnel 

 

If the sensor lenses need to be cleaned, first use gentle compressed air jet (such as “canned air” used 
for PC servicing).  If this is inadequate, use a damp soft cloth to remove residue build up.  Snap the 
top cover back on before plugging in the power cable. 

8.2 

Cleaning the RF cell 

Prior to turning the power off, select [Menu]-[General settings]-[Maintenance]-[Clean]-[Open 
Funnel].  Do not press back.  Switch the power off and remove the power cable.  This allows the 
grain dump door to open for better access to the RF cell. 

 
Open the instrument: 

 

                      Lift off the top cover 

 

         Push back the black inner funnel 

 
Push back the inner funnel to access the metal RF cell inside the instrument.  If the cell needs to be 
cleaned, first use gentle compressed air jet (such as “canned air” used for PC servicing).  If this is 
inadequate, use a damp soft cloth to remove residue build up. 
 

The plastic door on the bottom of the RF cell may also be accessed for cleaning by placing the 
instrument on its back and removing the catch drawer.  The plastic door may be moved and 
cleaned with a damp soft cloth. 
 
Reassemble and make sure to snap the top cover back on before plugging in the power cable.
