Maintenance
This section gives procedures to maintain the unit in a
good condition. Return the instrument to the supplier for
all repairs.
Maintenance – Clean the unit
Clean the case with a moist, lint-free cloth and a weak
detergent. Do not use solvents or abrasive materials.
Maintenance – Replace the batteries
To replace the batteries, refer to B1. Then re-attach the
cover.
Make sure that the time and date are correct. The
calibration facility uses the date to give service and
calibration messages.
All the other configuration options stay in memory.
Calibration
Note: GE can provide a calibration service that is traceable
to international standards.
We recommend that you return the instrument to the
manufacturer or an approved service agent for
calibration.
If you use an alternative calibration facility, make sure that
it uses these standards.
Calibration - Before you start
To do an accurate calibration, you must have:
• the calibration equipment specified in Table 8.
• a stable temperature environment: 70 ± 2°F (21 ± 1°C)
Table 8: Calibration equipment
Before you start the calibration, make sure that the time
and date on the instrument are correct (Table 1).

When you select a channel, the display shows the
applicable instructions to complete the calibration.
When the calibration is complete, select
Calibration Due
and set the new calibration date for the instrument.
Calibration - Procedures (mV input or output)
1. Connect the instrument to the calibration equipment:
• mV input = Figure 1
• mV output = Figure 2
2. Let the equipment get to a stable temperature
(minimum: 5 minutes since the last power on).
3. Use the calibration menu (Table 9) to do the calibration:
• mV input = three-point calibration (-FS, Zero and +FS).
• mV output = two-point calibration (Zero and +FS).
The display shows the applicable instructions to
complete the calibration.
