MAINTENANCE
While any service of the instrument ought to be carried out by Ugo Basile personnel or by
qualified personnel authorized by UGO BASILE organization, this section of the instruc-
tion manuals describes normal maintenance procedures which can be carried out by the
user.
UNPLUG THE MAINS CORD BEFORE CARRYING OUT
ANY MAINTENANCE JOB!
6.1
Mechanical
The Analgesy-Meter requires a minimum of maintenance. Protect it from dust when not in
use; dust has in fact an abrasive action on Perspex parts when these are often cleaned.
Organic solvents should not be used for cleaning purposes as they can impair the Per-
spex surfaces.
Loose dust may be removed with a dry brush or a mild detergent on a soft cloth.
Do not
spray any detergent or water on the connectors and on the geared motor
.
All the moving parts, including fulcrum ball bearings, are designed to operate mainte-
nance-free.
DO NOT LUBRICATE
!
6.2
Electrical
To inspect and/or replace the fuses,
disconnect the mains cable first
!
Insert a minia-
ture screwdriver in the slot indentation, see drawing 2 in paragraph 3.3, and snap out the
slide which houses the fuses.
For operation at both 220-230 Volts and 115 Volts, we recommend 125 mA timed fuses
(type T125).
Having extracted the fuse slide, the Voltage selector becomes accessible. The same
miniature screwdriver will help you to pry out the cross jumper on which the operation
voltage is engraved. Place the jumper upside down if you have to shift from 115 to 230V
or viceversa.
Snap in the fuse slide, until the “
click
” ensures that it is locked. Check the voltage flag be-
fore applying electrical power.
When shifting from 115 to 230V or viceversa,
you should also pay atten-
tion to frequency
: the Analgesy-Meter employs a different motor for the two
frequencies, hence a 37215 meant for 50Hz will not work correctly at 60Hz,
and viceversa.
Check the frequency on the silver label attached to the instrument.
