8. Cleaning and Maintenance
•
Do not use any acetone for cleaning
the unit!
The instrument housing is resistant to a
number of solvents, but cannot be guaranteed to
withstand all chemicals. You should therefore use
a soft, moist cloth for cleaning. For cleaning exces-
sive dirt, use propanol.
•
Do not attempt to make any repairs your
-
self! If a malfunction occurs on your measuring
device, our Customer Service department will be
happy to help you as quickly as possible.
Examination
•
Always take the heat sinks out of the
thermal barrier. Shake the heat sinks to find out
whether the cooling agent has changed form solid
to liquid state. If the cooling agent is still in a solid
state, the heat sinks need to cool down for 8 hours
at a temperature lower than +10 °C. If the cooling
agent has remained solid, it is sufficient to cool
down the heat sinks for 8 hours at a temperature
lower than +20 °C.
•
Make sure that mechanically damaged heat
sinks don’t leak.
•
