ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
In order to maintain your HS-2 in the best working order, some routine mainte-
nance is required. The flat tape should be inspected for cuts and abrasions on
a regular basis. Severely damaged tapes should be replaced. Contact Waterra
if this is required.
The tape should be completely spooled out of the reel and cleaned with a damp
cloth and the reels will also need to be wiped down to remove sand and mud.
Be sure to wind the tape back onto the reel in the correct direction (see Probe
Holder & Winding the Reel).
Check that the tape is wound onto the reel in an even manner. Do not allow the
tape to accumulate on one side of the reel.
The probe tip should be cleaned on a regular basis with a toothbrush and wa-
ter to remove any material that may accumulate there. A clean probe tip will
increase meter accuracy.
Replace the batteries when the indicator light shows that they are worn or at
least once per year. See the battery replacement instructions for directions.
water resistance
The HS-2 is designed to be water resistant, however these units are not water-
proof. Do not immerse the HS-2 or the HS-2L as this will damage the electron-
ics and flood the unit.
cleaning and decontamination
The HS-2 should be kept as clean as possible as this will help keep the units in
good working order. The flat tape can be cleaned by spooling the tape out of the
reel into to a large bucket, allowing it to soak in a cleaning solution. The recom-
mended detergent for this is Alkanox.
Rinse the tape in clean water and pass the tape through a clean cloth as it is
wound back into the reel.
Do not immerse the reel and electronics! The reel can be cleaned with a clean,
damp cloth. If the inside of the reel becomes contaminated or is excessively
dirty, the tape and reel should be disassembled for a more thorough cleaning.
