OPERATOR'S MANUAL
The instrument is powered by a 9-volt alkaline battery (supplied). The
instrument will notify you when the battery is starting to get low. The meter will
continue to operate, as this is just a warning that you will need to replace the
battery in the near future. Once the battery has reached a level that is too low,
the instrument will lock up the display with a “REPLACE BATTERY” message.
To access the battery, remove the battery cover and replace with a new 9-volt
alkaline battery. If the unit is going to be stored for more than a month without
use, we recommend removing the battery during storage.
Do not tamper with the enclosure of the instrument. Opening the enclosure
WILL affect the calibration of the instrument AND will void the warranty.
Do not apply excessive force to the switch. Doing so could affect the
performance of the instrument, especially if excessive force is applied during
testing.
The instrument has been calibrated for testing Guardian IS-15 AND IS-20 low e
coatings, along with other Guardian low e coatings. Testing of materials other
than those listed is not warranted to produce the correct test results. If you have
a custom application, consult the factory to find out if the product is applicable.
