Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Although Decagon built the KD2 Pro according to the highest quality
standards, you must practice proper care and maintenance to ensure
continuing operation.
6.1

Cleaning and Caring for the Sensors

The sensors are stainless steel, so they are easy to clean, though some
materials corrode stainless steel. Be sure to carefully clean the needle
after removal from sample materials. When they need cleaning, just
wipe them with a damp cloth. Take care never to bend or move
the needles. If the needle becomes bent, it is most likely broken
and requires testing and replacement. Contact Decagon to see if a
replacement sensor is necessary.
6.2

Changing the Batteries

Although we designed the KD2 Pro to provide an excellent battery
lifespan, the batteries eventually requires changing. When this hap-
pens, a low-battery indicator appears in the upper left hand corner
of the screen. The KD2 Pro requires four alkaline "AA" batteries.
Follow steps 1 through 4 to change the batteries.
1. Turn over the KD2 Pro and locate the battery cover.
2. Place your thumb on the grooves and pull away from the con-
troller to loosen the cover.
3. Remove the old batteries and insert new ones. Be sure to orient
the fresh batteries according to the polarity marks shown in the
case.
4. Update the time and date either in the Config menu of the
KD2 Pro, or by using the KD2 Pro Utility.
