10. WARRANTY, MAINTENANCE
AND BATTERY REPLACEMENT
10.1 WARRANTY
The warranty policy for the AccuPRO is provided
on the Certificate of Limited Warranty enclosed
separately with each unit.
NOTE:
For assistance of any kind, including help
with a meter under warranty, contact the
Customer Service Department at Spectro-UV.
In the United States and Canada, call toll-free
1-866-230-7305. Include the model number,
serial number, and date of purchase. If return of
the unit is deemed necessary, shipping
instructions will be provided. If an estimate of
charges for nonwarranty work or other service
work is required, a quote will be furnished upon
evaluation of the unit. Out-of-warranty service
work will not be performed without customer
approval.
10.2 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
• Immediately clean all spilled materials from the
unit and wipe dry. If necessary, moisten a cloth
with soap and water to clean plastic surfaces
and the sensor head. The sensor surface
should be rinsed with ethanol to remove any
residual soap and/or organic contaminants.
• Whenever possible, avoid exposure or use in
areas that are subject to temperature and
humidity extremes, vibration or mechanical
shock, dust or corrosive fumes, or strong
electrical or electromagnetic interference.
• It is recommended that the unit be returned to
the factory or a recognized Spectroline AccuPRO
calibration service center for a complete overall
check and recalibration at least every 6 or 12
months, depending on your facility's Standard
Operating Procedures. Before returning the
units to our factory, contact the Customer
Service Department for shipping instructions.
• When the AccuPRO is not in use, store it in a
location free from temperature extremes, dust
or corrosive fumes, and vibration or mechanical
shock.
• If storing for an extended period, place the
AccuPRO in its carrying case.
10.3 BATTERY SAFETY AND CHARGING
1. The AccuPRO radiometer must be charged
overnight or for at least 8 hours when the
battery is replaced or after a battery reset
(removal and re-installation of the same battery).
2. CAUTION: Do not use alkaline batteries in the
AccuPRO as they may explode causing damage
to the circuitry and possibly the operators. Only
use the 700mAh,1.2V rechargeable batteries
provided with the AccuPRO and available from
Spectroline
®
(P/N: 129227).
3. The AccuPRO should be charged with the
power OFF. Charging the unit for long periods
while operating is not advised because it will
cause the charging/display circuit to malfunction.
Should this take place, the unit will need to
charge for 8+ hours while turned off for the
circuit to reset.
4. The battery indicator will turn red at 30%. It is
recommended that the AccuPRO be powered
down and charged when it reaches this level. At
10% battery life, the unit will automatically
power down.
5. Disconnect the charger from the meter when
not in use.
6. While charging, it is recommended to have the
device turned OFF.
7.
Off-State Discharge Rate:
The AccuPRO™
battery will naturally discharge approximately
3-4% per day – even when the unit is turned off.
Be sure to keep an accurate and up-to-date
charging schedule.
CHARGING
• Plug battery charger into AC power outlet.
• Firmly connect charger to port located on the
right side of the unit, just below the screen.
• Battery percentage, located in the top right
corner of the screen, will begin to increase as
the unit charges. It might be necessary to
change screens for the battery readout to
update.
• A full charge will take 8 hours and is good for
approximately 6 hours of operation.
• While charging, it is recommended to have the
device turned OFF.
