The calibration instrument has been designed with the utmost care. Ease
of operation and simplicity of maintenance have been a central theme in
the product development. Therefore, with proper care the instrument
should require very little maintenance. Avoid operating the instrument in
an oily, wet, dirty, or dusty environments.
If the outside of the instrument becomes soiled, it may be wiped clean
with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use harsh chemicals on the
surface which may damage the paint or the plastic of the outside shell.
If a hazardous material is spilt on or inside the equipment, the user is re
-
sponsible for taking the appropriate decontamination steps as outlined by
the national safety council with respect to the material.
If the mains supply cord becomes damaged, replace it with a cord with
the appropriate gauge wire for the current of the instrument. If there are
any questions, call an Authorized Service Center for more information.
Before using any cleaning or decontamination method except those rec-
ommended by Hart, users should check with an Authorized Service Cen-
ter to be sure that the proposed method will not damage the equipment.
If the instrument is used in a manner not in accordance with the equip-
ment design, the operation of the thermometer may be impaired or safety
hazards may arise.
DC Battery Pack Option: Due to the self-discharge characteristics of the
sealed lead-acid battery, it is imperative that the battery be charged after
6–9 months of storage. Otherwise, permanent loss of capacity might oc-
cur as a result of sulfation.
