Routine Maintenance
Ensure the external surfaces of the unit are clean and free from dust. The sample area should always be kept clean and
any accidental spillage should be wiped away immediately. To give added protection when not in use, the equipment
should be disconnected from the mains supply and covered with the optional dust cover.
If the equipment needs to be cleaned ensure the equipment is switched off and disconnected from the mains
supply before cleaning. Wipe down the unit with a soft damp cloth and a mild detergent solution. Do not use
bleach or abrasives. Do not allow cleaning liquids to ingress inside the equipment. Never immerse the unit, cables
or plugs in water or any other liquids. Allow any wet surfaces to dry before re-connecting to the mains supply and
commencing use.
The only routine maintenance which maybe required is the replacement of the light source. The replacement lamps
are available from your local distributor (refer to section 12.4 for part codes). Only genuine replacement lamps
should be used. Similar lamps may have different filament configurations or be wavelength restricted for domestic
or commercial use and will give errors if used.
