Periodic Service
WARNING!
Repair and service of this instrument is to be performed by qualified
personnel only. Improper repair or service could result in physical
degradation of the meter. This could alter the protection from
electrical shock and personal injury this meter provides to the
operator. Perform only those maintenance tasks that you are
qualified to do.
These guidelines will help you attain long and reliable service from
your meter:
• Calibrate your meter annually to ensure it meets original
performance specifications
• Keep your meter dry. If it gets wet, wipe dry immediately.
Liquids can degrade electronic circuits
• Whenever practical, keep the meter away from dust and
dirt that can cause premature wear
• Although your meter is built to withstand the rigors of daily
use, it can be damaged by severe impacts. Use reasonable
caution when using and storing the meter
Cleaning
Periodically clean your meter’s case using a damp cloth.
DO NOT
use
abrasive, flammable liquids, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents as
they may damage the finish, impair safety, or affect the reliability of the
structural components.
Battery Replacement
Always use a fresh replacement battery of the specified size and type.
Immediately remove the old or weak battery from the meter and
dispose of it in accordance with your local disposal regulations. Batteries
can leak chemicals that corrode electronic circuits. If your meter is not
going to be used for a month or more, remove and store the battery in
a place that will not allow leakage to damage other materials.
To install a new battery, follow these procedures:
1. Turn off the meter.
2. Remove the rubber boot from the meter, starting at the top.
3. Place meter face down on a clean cloth.
4. Remove battery compartment cover.
5. Remove and discard the old battery. Always dispose of old batteries
promptly in a manner with local disposal regulations.
6. Insert (4) AA alkaline batteries noting “+” and “-” diagram
directions in battery compartment.
WARNING!
Under no circumstances should you expose batteries to extreme heat or
fire as they may expose and cause injury.
7. Replace battery compartment cover.
E l e c t romagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
European Council Directive 89/336 / EEC requires electronic equipment not
to generate electromagnetic disturbances exceeding defined levels and
have adequate immunity levels for normal operation. Specific standards
a p p l i cable to this meter are stated below.
As there are electrical products in use pre-dating this Directive, they may
emit excess electromagnetic radiation levels and, occasionally, it may be
appropriate to check the meter before use by:
Use the normal start up sequence in the location where the meter
will be used.
Switch on all localized electrical equipment capable of
causing interference.
Check all readings are as expected. A level of disturbance
is acceptable.
If not acceptable, adjust the meter’s position to minimize
interference or switch off, if possible, the offending equipment
during your test.
At the time of writing this manual (July 2002) UEi and Kane International
Ltd are not aware of any field based situation where such interference
has occurred and this advice is only given to satisfy the requirements of
the Directive.
This product has been tested for compliance with the following
generic standards:
EN 50081-1 & EN 50082-1
and is certified to be compliant.
Specification EC/EMC/KI/C100A details the specific test configuration,
performance and conditions of use.
G l o s s a ry of Te r m s
TEMP:
Temperature measured by the probe in Fahrenheit (˚F) or
Centigrade (˚C). It displays “----” if the probe is disconnected.
CO:
Carbon Monoxide reading displayed in ppm (parts per million).
“----” is displayed if there is a fault with the CO sensor or the meter has
not set to zero correctly, switch off meter and try again.
CO MAX:
Maximum CO level recorded while the meter is switched on.
BAT:
Displays battery power available in %.
When the “
BAT
” symbol is nearly empty it indicates the batteries are at
less than 10% of charge and should be replaced, readings may be
affected if used with low batteries.
DATE:
Date order can be changed using the menu function. Date is
recorded when each combustion test is printed.
TIME:
Time is shown in hours and minutes, expressed in “Military”
time or the 24hr clock. Time is recorded when each combustion test
s printed.
