Cleaning the Instrument
Your instrument requires very little maintenance to achieve years of reliable operation. However,
to protect your investment and maintain reading accuracy, a few simple-cleaning procedures
should be performed from time to time.
General Cleaning
The exterior of the instrument may be wiped clean with a cloth dampened in water or mild
cleaner.
NOTE: DO NOT use any solvents to the clean the instrument, this will cause damage to the
cover.
Cleaning the Optics
The optics should be cleaned once a week in a normal environment. If the instrument is used in a
dirty or dusty environment, more frequent cleaning may be required.
Carefully lift the instrument, open the shoe and blow short bursts of clean, dry air into the
measurement port. This should remove any accumulated debris from the optics.
IMPORTANT: If can air is used for cleaning, do not invert or tilt the can during use. This could
cause damage to the optics.
