9. Care and Maintenance
The SCU1 requires no routine maintenance. The only user serviceable parts are the fuses in the
IEC mains inlet socket.
9.1. Fuses
To change a blown fuse, ensure the mains supply is disconnected, then extract the fuse block
from the IEC socket with a blunt tool (e.g. flat-bladed screwdriver). Extract and replace the blown
fuse. Replace the fuse block.
WARNING:
Fuses fitted must be of the type specified in the product brochure.
9.2. Calibration
Return the SCU1 to Bartington Instruments for calibration at the recommended intervals. Refer
to the Calibration Certificate for further details.
9.3. Cleaning
WARNING:
Disconnect the electrical supply before performing any cleaning operation.
Periodic cleaning is not normally required.
If the system becomes soiled and cleaning is necessary:
1. Use a damp cloth to clean the outer surfaces.
2. Use an air duster to blow debris from the connectors.
WARNING:
Ensure water does not enter the system. The system must be completely dry
before the electrical supply is reconnected.
Caution:
Never use chemicals, such as solvents, when cleaning the SCU1.
Caution:
Take particular care when cleaning around electrical connections. Bent or
damaged pins may cause the magnetometer to malfunction.
