Care and maintenance
Cleaning: Please do not remove dust and dirt from the receiving or display window by using dry cloths or abrasive materials as this procedure scratches the windows. A soft cloth and mild soap and water are effective.
The unit may be submerged under water or sprayed with a low pressure hose if necessary. Do not use any other fluids other than water or glass- cleaner, as they may attack polymer components.
Prohibited Uses
– Operation without instruction.
– Operation other than the intended uses.
– Opening the detector, except the battery compartment.
– Modification or conversion of the detector.
Important information
– The person in charge of the detector must understand the instructions in this manual and ensure other users do also.
– Periodically carry out test measurements, particularly after the detector has been subjected to abnormal use and before and after important measurements.
Positioning and adjustment of the instrument.
When setting up the instrument, take care that the laser beam does not produce any unwanted reflections from reflective surfaces.
These reflections may also be captured by the receiver and produce incorrect readings.
