9 MAINTENANCE

You own one of the finest dewpoint meters in the world. If looked after, it will last a lifetime.
• Always keep the gauge in its carrying case when not in use. Ensure the gauge is correctly inserted in
the carrying case with the display to the front.
• The humidity sensor is fragile and should never be touched. Do not use compressed air to clean the
sensors or the gauge.
• Be careful not to scratch the LCD screen or break the glass screen.
• Do not subject the gauge to a strong impact.
• Clean the gauge with a soft, dry cloth such as those made to clean eyeglasses. Do not use solvents!
To clean the plastic housing, use isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and a soft dry cloth.
• Never force a connector into a port if the connector and port do not easily join. Make sure the
connector matches the port and that it is properly aligned and undamaged before you attach it.
• Keep the gauge away from extreme heat. Do not leave it on the dashboard, in the boot of a car, or near
a heater. Heat can damage the screen, the plastic housing and internal components.
• Do not leave the gauge in extremely dusty, damp or wet places. Dust and moisture can damage the
gauge and cause it to malfunction. The gauge is not waterproof and must not be submerged.
Regular calibration checks over the life of the gauge are a requirement of quality management procedures,
e.g. ISO 9000, and other similar standards. For checks and certification contact Elcometer or your
Elcometer supplier. Your gauge does not contain any user-serviceable components. In the unlikely event
of a fault, the gauge should be returned to your Elcometer supplier or directly to Elcometer.
