11.7.9.

Lens and Sleeve Maintenance

On a daily basis, the lenses on the electrode should be wiped over with a soft damp cloth. 

Similarly, the inside of the Probe Sleeve and Sleeve Cap should be kept clean and free 
from any deposits that may cause stray fluorescence.

Never use an abrasive cleaner on the inside of the Probe sleeve or cap as they have  
been treated with a non-reflective coating which can be easily damaged. 

The inside of 

the sleeve should be wiped over with a soft damp cloth and 

non-abrasive

 detergent. 

Always re-calibrate the zero point after cleaning the sleeve or lenses.
