2 Care & Maintenance
2.1 Power packs
The Duo-Scan Axial is designed for reliability in the veterinary and animal husbandry marketplace.
Our engineers and their appointed agents are available to provide rapid service assistance to ensure
optimum performance of BCF systems. However there is no substitute for careful usage.
We state that the Duo-Scan Axial is splashproof, indeed it is sealed to IP65, but you should note the
following important points:
1.
The unit is not sealed against jets of water. Water will penetrate your scanner if it is hosed down
or rinsed under a fast flowing tap
2.
The unit is NOT corrosion proof and thus it should not be left wet
3.
Some types of goggles are not waterproof and care should be taken to avoid submersion
4.
The standalone charger, battery charger and charging carry case are not waterproof – avoid
getting them wet
Cleaning
•
Antibacterial wet wipes are particularly effective for scanner, battery and probe wipedown, and
reduce the need for drying. This prevents problems related to corrosion following washdown
•
The plastic scanner, power pack and carry pack can also be cleaned using a cloth, soap and
warm water
•
Sponging down or even brief, shallow submersion is less aggressive than rinsing or hosing down
•
Thoroughly dry the scanner before storage or charging. Take care to detach the external power
pack and ensure interconnect areas are dry also
•
Neoprene Scanner waist pouch may be machine washed
