Cleaning the sensor. Regular inspection Testo recommends having the gas leak detector inspected by an authorized service centre every year. Cleaning the sensor Tobacco smoke, dirty air, oils, greases, silicones and evaporating liquids or gases can leave deposits on the sensor surface.
If the instrument is used infrequently, deposits may build up on the sensor. Switching the instrument on prevents these deposits from building up on the sensor. Testo recommends switching the instrument on regularly to avoid deposits building up on the sensor.
