Cleaning the Instrument
Your instrument requires very little maintenance to achieve years of reliable operation. However,
to protect your investment and maintain reading accuracy, a few simple-cleaning procedures
should be performed from time to time.
General Cleaning
The exterior of the instrument should only be wiped clean with a cotton cloth dampened (not wet)
in water or isopropyl alcohol.
Cleaning the Touch Display
The touch display should only be wiped clean with a cotton cloth dampened (not wet) in water or
isopropyl alcohol.
Cleaning the Target Window
The target window should only be cleaned with a cotton cloth dampened (not wet) in water.
Cleaning the Optics
The optics should be cleaned once a week in a normal environment. If the instrument is used in a
dirty or dusty environment, more frequent cleaning may be required.
1.
Carefully lift the instrument and open the target base.
2.
Rotate the reference holder (1) towards the back and hold.
3.
Blow short bursts of clean, dry air (2) into the measurement port. This should remove any
accumulated debris from the optics.
4.
Carefully return the calibration holder to its normal position.
IMPORTANT:
If can air is used for cleaning, do not invert or tilt the can during use. This could
cause damage to the optics.
