6. Calibration The instrument calibration is valid for 2 years or 1 million air liters. When the instrument reaches one of these situations it shows a message to every operation notifying about that. The calibration must be performed by a trained operator, and it is compulsory to use an anemometer manufactured for this specific purpose.
7. Troubleshooting Symptom Probable cause Recommended action Plug the power supply unit. Wait 5 seconds. If the battery icon doesn’t appear then press the The unit cannot turn ON. Battery discharged. RESET button. unit switches The mains cord is unplugged Plug the mains supply and let spontaneously.
8. Maintenance 8.1. Cleaning Procedure To clean the Spin Air Basic device use a damp brush or cloth moistened with a solution of hot water and soap. The stainless steel and aluminum heads can be autoclavable or clean with an alcohol solution (70%). CAUTION Damage to the device.
