Maintenance

The Manufacturers or their agents overseas will provide a repair service for any unit developing a

fault. Where owners wish to undertake their own maintenance work, this should only be done by

skilled personnel in conjunction with the service manual which may be purchased directly from

the Manufacturers or their agents overseas.

Cleaning

If the instrument requires cleaning use a cloth that is only lightly dampened with water or a mild

detergent.

WARNING! TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR DAMAGE TO THE INSTRUMENT, NEVER

ALLOW WATER TO GET INSIDE THE CASE. TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE CASE NEVER

CLEAN WITH SOLVENTS.

Connector Contact Cleaning

Ensure the contact surfaces of the Kelvin connectors are free from contamination. The contacts

of both the built–in connectors and the axial adaptors are made of high quality stainless steel but

they can pick up contamination from the environment or from component leads inserted into the

connector. Occasionally clean the connectors by inserting a piece of clean stiff card between

them and lightly pushing back and forth. In extreme cases the card may be moistened with a little

suitable cleaning solution.
