wetting agent). Do not immerse instrument in any liquid. Observe the
following precautions when cleaning:
1. Turn the instrument

2. Allow the instrument to sit for 1 minute before accessing
internal components.

regulations to determine required recalibration intervals.
Ludlum Measurements offers a full-service repair and calibration
