2.3. Equipment Maintenance
Maintain your equipment to prevent future problems and unwanted costs. Keep your
M.O.L.E. Profiler at peak performance by taking care of the system components and
keeping it calibrated.
Typical maintenance should include the following:
• Wipe the exterior of the instrument enclosure or components with a cloth
dampened with water or IPA alcohol.
IPA alcohol is the only type of solvent that is acceptable to clean Thermal
Profiling instruments or any of the system components. All other types such as
organic solvents are not recommended.
• Inspect the Power Pack battery charger enclosure for damage. Do not use the
charger if the enclosure is cracked or broken, or if the power plug pins are loose or
deformed.
• ECD recommends the M.O.L.E. Profiler is factory re-calibrated every 6 months
when it is being used constantly. If the use is occasional, a period of no greater
than 12 months between calibrations is recommended. The current calibration
status can be checked by using the
Instrument Status command on the M.O.L.E.
menu for all M.O.L.E. Profilers except for the SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold and PTP®
VP-8.
