7 STORAGE
Your gauge has a Liquid Crystal Display. If the display is heated above 50°C (120°F) it may be
damaged. This can happen if the gauge is left in a car parked in strong sunlight.
Always store the gauge in its case when it is not being used.
If the gauge is to remain unused for long periods of time, remove the batteries and store them
separately. This will prevent damage to the gauge in the event of malfunction of the batteries.
8 MAINTENANCE
You own one of the finest corrosion gauges in the world. If looked after, it will last a lifetime.
8.1 FAULTS
Your gauge is designed to give many years reliable service under normal operating and storage conditions.
The gauge does not contain any user-serviceable components. In the unlikely event of a fault, the gauge
should be returned to your local Elcometer NDT supplier or directly to Elcometer NDT. The warranty will be
invalidated if the instrument has been opened.
8.2 TRANSDUCER
The transducer will wear with repeated use. Transducer life depends on the number of measurements taken
and the manner in which readings are taken. To extend transducer life, always set the transducer down so
that it is perpendicular to the panel surface. Dragging the transducer along the surface will reduce the life
of the transducer. Replacement transducers are available from your local Elcometer NDT supplier or directly
from Elcometer NDT.
