Calibration, Maintenance and Service 

 

 

Calibration 

 
Arroyo Instruments recommends the annual calibration of the 

586

 

TECPak

 to 

ensure conformance to the published specifications, or as dictated by your 
quality system. Arroyo Instruments offers NIST-traceable calibration services 
with data. Contact the factory for more details. 

 

Maintenance 

 
The 

586

 

TECPak

 requires no regular maintenance other than product 

calibration. To clean the instrument, use cotton cloth that is only damp (not wet) 
with a very light solution of soap and water.  

 

Fuses 

 
The 586 is internally fused, there are no user-serviceable fuses.  
 

Service 

 
Service and repair for the 

586

 

TECPak

 can be obtained by contacting the 

distributor from where you purchased the instrument, or directly from Arroyo 
Instruments. A complete list of distributors is available on the Arroyo Instruments 

web site.
