Cleaning Your Tecal 700; Fuses; Insulation Testing; Accessories - Bibby Sterilin Techne TECAL 700 Operator's Manual

Cleaning your Tecal unit
Before cleaning your unit, disconnect from the power supply and allow to cool to ambient temperature.
You can clean the case of the Tecal with a cloth dipped in water or ethanol (methanol can also be used).
No part of the case or cover should be immersed in the solvents.
Do not use acetone or abrasive cleaners.
Before using any cleaning or decontamination method except those recommended in this manual, the
responsible body should check with Techne that the proposed method will not damage the equipment.

fuses

If neither the power light nor display (on the front panel) is lit, one of the two fuses may have blown.
Make sure there is no external cause (such as a faulty plug or lead).
Check both fuses and replace the faulty fuse with a new one of the correct value (fuse values are given
on the label next to the power inlet).
The holder for the two fuses is built into the mains input socket. First remove the power cable and then
gently prise the fuse drawer open with a flat-bladed screwdriver or similar tool.
Each fuse can be removed by using the screwdriver as a lever.
Exchange the faulty fuse in the fuse holder for a working fuse of the correct value. Finally, replace the
fuse drawer in the fuse compartment and push the drawer shut.
If the fuses blow persistently, a serious fault is indicated and you should return the calibrator to your
supplier for repair.
Never fit a fuse rated higher than the value indicated on the unit, serious damage or personal injury may
result.
