BATTERY INFORMATION
Replacement
It is recommended that the battery be replaced annually, or prior to logging critical
data. Only use 3.6V ½AA lithium metal batteries. The data logger does not lose its
stored readings when the battery is discharged or replaced; however, the data
logging process will stop and will not resume until the battery is replaced and the
logger restarted. Please note that leaving the data logger plugged into the USB port
for extended periods will cause some of the battery capacity to be lost.
Passivation
If left unused for extended periods of time lithium metal batteries, naturally form a
non-‐conductive internal layer preventing them from self-‐discharge and effectively
increasing their shelf life. When first installed in the data logger, this may cause a
momentary drop in the battery voltage (the Transient Minimum Voltage) as the
internal layer is broken down, resulting in the data logger resetting. Inserting the
batteries in the data logger and leaving it connected to the RH-‐N95 for about 30
seconds remove this layer. After this, remove and re-‐install the batteries to reset the
data logger. Overall battery life will not be affected.
WARNING
Handle lithium metal batteries carefully, observe warnings on battery casing.
Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.

MAINTENANCE
•
The RH-‐N95 is constructed of high-‐quality materials, which may be
cleaned with mild soap and a damp cloth or any non-‐abrasive cleaner.
Unit can be internally and externally disinfected with a non-‐bleach dis-‐
infectant (preferably quaternary ammonium compound (e.g., Lysol ™).
•
At the beginning of each day, check seal around door to ensure it is clean
and free of obstructions.
•
A cooling fan filter is located on the back of the unit to ensure the
sterilizer performs reliably for many years. Visually inspect the filter for
buildup of dust or contaminants at least once a month. Replace or clean
Before using the data logger you will need to insert the 3.6V 2/3AA High
Temperature battery provided, following the instructions below.
