7 MAINTENANCE

Elcometer products are designed to give many years reliable service under normal operating and storage
conditions. The instrument does not contain any user-serviceable components. In the unlikely event of a
fault, the instrument should be returned to your local Elcometer supplier or direct to Elcometer. The warranty
will be invalidated if the instrument has been opened.
When the batteries are nearly depleted the battery symbol starts flashing
and batteries need to be replaced.
Unscrew the two screws from the battery cap. See Figure 1.
Change all four batteries with new ones. Observe polarity.
Ensure black sealing ring is in place. Replace the battery cap and tighten
both screws.
Note: Alkaline batteries must be disposed of carefully to avoid
environmental contamination. Please consult your local Environmental
Authority for information on disposal in your region.
Do not dispose of any batteries in fire.
