Dirty lenses will lead to measuring errors. Please pay attention to the instruction given in MAINTENANCE AND CALIBRATION. HEITRONICS production meets the latest technical development thereby applying so- phisticated components. Nevertheless, functional errors may occur in exceptional cases. The failure of an instrument may cause a measuring value being issued which seems to be correct, but is wrong.

MAINTENANCE AND CALIBRATION General information The design of HEITRONICS Infrared Radiation Pyrometers provides for a long period of service without the necessity of special maintenance. It is advisable to check the display accuracy approximately every three months. Measuring errors may arise, for instance, owing to pollution of the lens. For this reason, this component should first of all be cleaned.
