    Contact your supplier or directly to SIKA. Please send the device for repair with a brief de- scription of the problem, the environmental conditions and the length of time the device was operational before the problem occurred.

  • Page 49: Maintenance And Cleaning

    TP37 / TP3M Maintenance and cleaning The following measures must be taken before you send the unit to SIKA for repair:  Clean the device thoroughly. This is of extreme importance if the medium is hazardous to health, i.e. caustic, toxic, carcinogenic or radioactive etc.

  • Page 50: Cleaning

     Fit the fuse compartment back in place and connect the mains connecting cable ( § 4.2 "Electrical connection"). Should the fuses blow repeatedly, there is probably a fault in the calibrator. In this case, send the calibrator to SIKA for repairs ( § 7+§ 7.1). 8.2 Cleaning External cleaning: Clean the TP37 / TP3M with a dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth.
  • Page 51 IMPORTANT! Temperature fuse at over-temperature! An air flow that is too low can result in the temperature fuse getting triggered. The cali- brator is then rendered operationally disabled, and must be sent to SIKA.  Ensure that the grille openings are always clear.

  • Page 52: Recalibration

    The calibrator should, depending on the application situation, be inspected at appropriate in- tervals on the basis of DIN ISO 10012. We recommend you to return the calibrator to SIKA at intervals of max. 12 months or approx. 500 operating hours for recalibration and readjust- ment.

  • Page 53: Decommissioning And Disposal

    The calibrator of the series TP37 / TP3M consist of various different materials.
