Cleaning the sensor
You must clean the sensor:
•
Before each calibration/inspection
•
Regularly during operation
You can remove the sensor and clean it manually.
7.1.
Cleaning agents
For cleaning the sensor, use agents containing surfactants (alka-
line) or water-soluble organic solvents (e.g. ethanol).
Isopropanol is recommended for cleaning various contamination,
especially greases and oils.
7.2.
Calibration
Because of contamination (e.g. oil, water, particles), an annual re-
calibration of the sensor is recommended, and one must take place
at least every 24 months. This is mandatory for accounting purpo-
ses.
