5 Maintenance
W
ARNING
MAG/HEATMAG maintenance should be carried out on a clean and dust free
workplace. Always turn off power and disconnect MAG/HEATMAG from the
mains and wear gloves when carrying out maintenance work.
W
ARNING
Before starting any maintenance work, allow the HEATMAG to cool down to
room temperature.
MAG/HEATMAG modules are precision instruments, therefore a proper maintenance
routine must be followed to ensure safe and reliable operation. Cleaning is recommended
if MAG/HEATMAG has been contaminated or if it has come in contact with corrosive
liquids.
5.1

Cleaning

The materials used on the exterior of MAG/HEATMAG support regular cleaning intervals.
Clean the external components with a lint-free cloth lightly soaked with mild soap solution
in distilled water or with a 70 % dilution of Isopropyl or Ethanol. Never use Acetone or other
solvents.
W
ARNING
Do not spray cleaning solution directly onto the MAG/HEATMAG as this can
potentially damage internal electronics.
If liquid ever enters the internals of MAG/HEATMAG, please contact your
service technician.
C
AUTION
MAG/HEATMAG can only be completely disassembled by trained service
personnel.
5.2

Decontamination

If the surface of MAG/HEATMAG has been in contact with biohazardous material, it must
be decontaminated in accordance to good laboratory practice. Wipe the clean surface with
a lint-free cloth, lightly soaked e. g. with the following disinfectants:
• Ethanol 70 %
• Microcide SQ 1:64
• Glutaraldehyde solution 4%
• Virkon solution 1-3%
Follow the instructions provided with the disinfectants.
