12. Maintaining and Troubleshooting the 45MG

To properly maintain and troubleshoot the 45MG, this chapter provides instructions
on proper handling, reset functions, software diagnostics, error messages, and
problem resolution.

12.1 Routine Gage Handling

The 45MG case is sealed to prevent ingress of environmental liquids and dust when
the battery door is closed. However, the instrument should never be immersed in any
fluid.
The 45MG case is designed to withstand normal field use. However, as with any
electronic instrument, damage is possible if the instrument is not handled with
adequate care. Observe the following instructions in particular:
• Never press a key using a hard or sharp object.
• When connecting cables to the instrument, first align the connector with the
mating receptacle on the instrument (dual element D79X series transducer center
pin protruding downward), and then carefully insert the connector straight into
the receptacle.
• When disconnecting cables from the instrument, first grasp the connector (not the
cable), and then gently pull it out.
• Do not throw or drop the instrument.
• Do not use strong solvents or abrasives to clean the rubber boot, case, keypad, or
display screen.
