Inspection and Cleaning
This section describes how to inspect for dirt and damage, and how to clean the
instrument. Inspection and cleaning are done as preventive maintenance.
Preventive maintenance, when done regularly, may prevent malfunctions and
enhance reliability.
Preventive maintenance consists of visually inspecting and cleaning the
instrument, and using general care when operating it. How often to do mainte-
nance depends on the severity of the environment in which the instrument is
used. A proper time to perform preventive maintenance is just before adjustment
of the instrument.
Protect the instrument from adverse weather conditions. The instrument is not
waterproof.
Do not store or leave the instrument where the liquid crystal display (LCD) will
be exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time.
The front and back cases help keep dust out of the instrument and must be in
place during normal operation.
CAUTION. To avoid damage to the instrument or probes, do not expose it to any
sprays, liquids, or solvents.
