5 Maintenance
While any service or repairs of the instrument are performed by Ugo Basile, this section
describes normal maintenance procedures that can be performed at your facility.
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE WORK
5.1 Electrical
To inspect and/or replace the fuses, disconnect the mains cable first! Insert a miniature screw-
driver in the slot indentation and snap out the slide which houses the fuses. Use T400mA fuses
for operation at both 230 or 115 Volts.
Snap in the fuse slide: the mechanical “click” ensures that it is locked.
5.2 Cleaning/disinfection
The Librae unit (47880) does not require any maintenance apart from normal cleaning.
Do not use organic solutions on the restrainer and cabinet, as they are liable to impair the
transparency of the restrainer and crack the acrylic component and the touch pad.
Cotton wool and water can be used for cleaning purposes. To disinfect, use a non-alcoholic
disinfectant, or H
2
O.
5.3 Long Inactivity
The instrument does not require any particular maintenance after long inactivity, except
cleaning
