  • Page 48: Maintenance And Cleaning

    Maintenance and cleaning TP37 / TP3M The following measures must be taken before you send the unit to SIKA for repair:  Clean the device thoroughly. This is of extreme importance if the medium is hazardous to health, i.e. caustic, toxic, carcinogenic or radioactive etc.
  • Page 49: Cleaning

    TP37 / TP3M Maintenance and cleaning Recalibration:  Send the calibrator to SIKA for Recalibration ( § 8.3) after 36 months or after a maxi- mum of 500 operating hours. Calibration liquid: Calibration liquids get fouled or age with time. This depends to a great extent on the type of liquid and the usage behaviour.
  • Page 50 IMPORTANT! Temperature fuse at over-temperature! An air flow that is too low can result in the temperature fuse getting triggered. The cali- brator is then rendered operationally disabled, and must be sent to SIKA.  Ensure that the grille openings are always clear.
  • Page 51: Recalibration

    The calibrator should, depending on the application situation, be inspected at appropriate in- tervals on the basis of DIN ISO 10012. We recommend you to return the calibrator to SIKA at intervals of max. 36 months or approx. 500 operating hours for recalibration and readjust- ment.
