Cleaning the Instrument
Your instrument requires very little maintenance to achieve years of reliable operation. However,
to protect your investment and maintain reading accuracy, a few simple-cleaning procedures
should be performed from time to time.
General Cleaning
The exterior of the instrument may be wiped clean with a cloth dampened in water or mild cleaner.
NOTE: DO NOT use any solvents to the clean the instrument, this will cause damage to the
cover.
Cleaning the Target Window
Clean the target window with a clean, lint-free soft cotton cloth or photographic lens tissue using
a gentle circular motion. Isopropyl alcohol or photographic-type lens cleaning fluid will provide a
more thorough cleaning. Always apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth – never directly on the target
window.
Cleaning the Calibration Card
The calibration card can be cleaned with a lint free cloth whenever required. Make sure to return
the calibration card to its protective envelope when not is use.
