Maintenance Of The Vibra; Replacing The Batteries; Cleaning - Profound VIBRA Series Manual

Maintenance of the VIBRA

3.3
The VIBRA needs almost no maintenance. One of the design criteria was that no moving parts were to be
included in the VIBRA . Furthermore, every VIBRA is tested for at least 48 hours continuously, during which
all functions of the VIBRA are checked. Such a "burn-in" period guarantees you a good working product.
3.3.1

Replacing the batteries

The VIBRA is powered by 3 D-size 1.5V mono-cell alkaline batteries. When the VIBRA has been operational
for a period of approx. 28 days, the batteries have to be replaced with fresh ones. If you measure with a
VIBRA +
and have activated the e-mail function, this period is shorter (see paragraph 5.10).
Please use only alkaline batteries (no rechargeable or other batteries). Utilizing these latter types of
batteries will result in false information with respect to the remaining battery capacity (see paragraph 5.10)
and in a much shorter registration period of the VIBRA.
Replacing the batteries of the VIBRA is a simple operation and can be done without losing (program) data.
The following procedure should be followed:
Warning: Before opening the blue bottom part of the VIBRA in order to replace
the batteries, switch off the VIBRA. Violation of this procedure might result
1. Switch off the VIBRA.
2. Unscrew the 4 screws at the bottom side of the VIBRA using the screwdriver supplied with the
system.
3. Remove the blue bottom cover of the VIBRA.
4. Inside, the three batteries can be easily recognized. Replace the 3 batteries with fresh ones. Data
in the VIBRA will be preserved. Make sure that batteries are inserted in the same way (polarity)
that the old batteries were fitted in the holders.
5. Replace the bottom cover of the VIBRA. Please take care that the rubber sealing is still fitted
properly in the blue cover, thus ensuring the IP-protection of the VIBRA.
6. Fasten the 4 screws.
Please note: the battery contacts should be cleaned at least once a year. Remove empty batteries to
avoid leakage.
