Appendix B Preventive Maintenance

B.1 Safety Testing

PAT testing in accordance with local regulations, should be performed on a regular
basis, (typically annually for an instrument in daily use).

B.2 Cleaning

The fascia may be cleaned with a soft cloth, lightly dampened with water or a mild
detergent.

Warning

The equipment contains no user servicable parts. There is a risk of electrical

shock if the equipment is operated with the covers removed. Only personnel

authorized by Thorlabs Ltd and trained in the maintenance of this equipment

should remove its covers or attempt any repairs or adjustments. Maintenance
is limited to safety testing and cleaning as described in the following sections.

Warning

Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the unit.

Never allow water to get inside the case.

Do not saturate the unit.

Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent,

e.g. alcohol or benzene.
