6.1 Repair Information
The X-Rite SP52 instrument is covered by a one-year limited
warranty—excluding battery pack—and should be referred to
factory or authorized service center for repairs within the
warranty period. Attempts to make repairs within this time
frame may void the warranty.
X-Rite provides a factory repair service to their customers.
Because of the complexity of the circuitry, all repairs should be
referred to the factory or an authorized service center
(call: 1-800-248-9748).
X-Rite will repair any instrument past warranty. The customer
shall pay shipping cost to the factory or authorized service
center and repair cost. The instrument shall be submitted in the
original carton, as a complete unaltered unit.
6.2 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.
6.2.1 General Cleaning
The exterior of the instrument may be wiped clean with a cloth
dampened in water or mild cleaner whenever required.
NOTE: DO NOT use any solvents to clean the instrument; this causes
damage to the cover.
6.2.2 Cleaning the Optics
The optics should be cleaned once a week in normal
environments, and more often in dirty or dusty environments.
Carefully lift the instrument and blow short bursts of clean, dry
air into the measurement aperture. This should remove any
accumulated dust in the optics area.
WARNING: DO NOT invert cans that use Freon as a propellant; doing so
could cause damage to the optics assembly.
