9.2 Maintenance
There are no user-serviceable parts on the WindSonic1. Keep the transducer paths clear of any
obstructions.
CAUTION:
When clearing the transducer paths, do not remove or damage the rubber caps on the
transducers.
Use a cloth and mild detergent to gently clean the transducers.
CAUTION:
Do not use solvents and avoid scratching or damaging the rubber caps.
If the WindSonic1 is damaged, fails to output data, or sends a nonzero status number (
(p. 14)), return it to Campbell Scientific for repair (see
).
