6.1 General Maintenance
The instrument head will require no maintenance apart from occasional
cleaning. Do this using fresh water and a mild soap solution (not a detergent).
6.2 Annual Maintenance
1. Check all connections to the instrument and, if necessary, cover with
silicone grease or petroleum jelly.
6.3 Removal of Instrument
1. If rear access is possible unplug the Dataplug connectors from the
rear of the instrument. If the connection needs to be made up then
the two wires may be joined using one of the connectors as a
terminal block.
2. Remove the outer cover. This can be done by squeezing the
instrument sides between finger and thumb and applying an upward
pressure. At the same time, place a flat-bladed screwdriver between
the bulkhead (or panel) and the cover, and carefully rotate.
3. Remove the cover and the four corner fixing screws.
4. Pull the instrument free from the surface, being careful not to strain
the wiring if the connectors have not yet been removed.
