• Do not disassemble this unit unless advised by Micronics. Return the unit to the place
of purchase for further advice.
• Do not drop.
• Wipe the exterior of the instrument with a clean damp cloth or paper towel-the use of
a solvent may damage the paint surface. Ensure the unit is switched off and
disconnected from the mains.
• Do not place the instrument electronics near to naked flames or sources of intense
heat such as an electric fire or hot pipes in excess 50°C.
• Dispose of any batteries safely and in accordance with any regulations in force in the
country of operation.
• Ensure all connectors are kept clean and free from grease. They may be cleaned with
a general purpose switch cleaner.
• Avoid the use of excessive grease/ultrasonic couplant on the sensors. This may
impair the performance of the equipment. Read the instructions in the manual on how
to apply the couplant. Any excessive grease/couplant can be removed from the
sensors and guide rails using an absorbent paper towel and a general purpose
solvent cleaner.
• Regularly check all cables/parts for damage. Replacement parts are available from
Micronics.
• On fixed instruments, it is recommended the ultrasonic couplant is replaced on the
sensors every 6 months especially on pipes where the application is too hot to touch.
If signal level drops below 30% this is also an indication that the sensors need re-
greasing.
• Ensure the person who services your instrument is qualified to do so. If in doubt,
return the instrument to Micronics with a detailed report on the nature of the problem.
• Ensure that suitable protective precautions are taken when using any materials to
clean the instrument/sensors.
• Calibration of the instrument and sensors is recommended to be done at least once
every 12 months.
• If the instrument was supplied with dust or dirt caps make sure they are re-fitted when
the instrument is not in use.
• It is the users responsibility to tidy cables so they will not cause harm to other people.
• When returning product to Micronics make sure it is clean. Notify Micronics if the
instrument has been in contact with any hazardous substances.
