Care and Service 

 

The  AccuTrak

®

  VPE-1000  is  constructed  of  durable,  impact  resistant  ABS, 

however it is also a precision electronic test instrument which should be handled 
with care and respect.  We suggest you follow these simple instructions to insure 
many years of reliable performance: 

  If you find yourself working in damp areas or the instrument is exposed to oils, or 

chemical agents that corrode, make sure that you wipe it clean with a soft cloth 
and  window  cleaner.    Be  very  gentle  around  the  front  of  the  instrument  so  that 
the sensor is not damaged.  Periodically, use an automotive polish on the case 
to bring back its original luster. 

  Keep  both  sensor  openings  free  of  dirt,  oils,  moisture,  or  any  other  foreign 

substances.    Use  the  yellow  waveguide  to  protect  the  airborne  sensor  when 
using the unit in harsh environments. 

  When  performing  touch  probe  applications,  do  not  use  excessive  pressure  on 

the item being tested.  Bent probes or cracked sensor housings are considered 
abuse, and will not be covered under warranty. 

  Keep the instrument stored in its protective carrying case when not in use. 

  Your  AccuTrak

®

  comes  with  a  high  quality,  industrial  grade  9volt  battery.  

However,  all  batteries  have  the  possibility  of  leaks.    Remove  the  battery  if  the 
unit is not to be used for longer periods of time.  

 

Calibration 

Superior  Signal  instruments  are  designed  in  a  way  to  minimize  the  need  for 
regular  calibrations.    They  are  constructed  with  components  of  very  tight 
tolerances,  and do not  age rapidly.   If there is a need to know for sure that the 
instrument  is  consistent  with  manufacturer  specifications,  or  if  you  suspect  a 
problem,  we  will  perform  the  calibration  at  a  fixed  cost.    Call  the  factory  for 
current calibration costs.
