UV Shield (MetSpec)
Ideally the user should try to keep MaxiMet radiation screens clean and
free of biological growth but a simple wipe with some non- aggressive
soft detergent cleaner will suffice. Solvents should not be used, and care
should be taken to avoid scratching any surfaces. The unit must be
allowed to defrost naturally after being exposed to snow or icy
conditions, do NOT attempt to remove ice or snow with a tool.
Temperature, Humidity and Dewpoint
The internal temperature and humidity sensor is not user maintainable or replaceable.
If used in areas of high pollution or marine environments then consideration should be considered
to return the unit for maintenance at Gill instruments every 12 to 24 months to ensure proper
performance.
Barometer
The Barometer device is located internally and is not maintainable or replaceable by a user.
If required return the MaxiMet to Gill Instruments to check the Barometer calibration.
Calibration
A calibration check can be done by any user/distributor by comparing the values measured by
MaxiMet with a reference value or in an environmental chamber. Users should understand that
these checks are not the same as the calibration checks or calibration done at Gill but they can
provide users with some degree of confidence to the validity of their measurements. If a
user/distributor notices a significant difference between the MaxiMet and their test
environment/reference they should contact Gill to discuss this and see if a calibration is required.
Returning the MaxiMet
If the unit has to be returned, it should be carefully packed in the original packaging and returned
to your authorised Gill distributor, with a full description of the fault condition. An RMA number
should be obtained from Gill Instruments first if returning directly to Gill Instruments.
