4. Maintenance
The CPC must be maintained periodically in accordance with the following instructions.
However, for annual calibration and cleaning, the instrument must be returned to the distributor.
This periodical maintenance will facilitate the instrument to be kept in a good condition for accurate
measurement.
4.1 Daily Zero Check
The daily zero check is to ensure that; the interior of the optical system is clean, the cartridge is
installed properly, and there is no leakage.
For the method of performing the zero check, see 3.1.1 Daily Zero Check (page 11).
4.2 Alcohol Cartridge
The alcohol cartridge is equipped with an isopropyl alcohol reservoir.
The felt inside the cartridge absorbs and holds alcohol.
Since the alcohol cartridge will be inserted into the CPC, it must be kept clean. If dust or dirt gets
into the CPC, it may plug the internal nozzle and impair proper operation of the CPC. Full
attention must be given on storing and handling the alcohol cartridge and the storage cap to keep
them free from dust or dirt.
- Charging the Alcohol
The alcohol cartridge must be charged at least once a day (depending on frequency of use).
For how to charge the alcohol, see 2.2.2 Charging the Alcohol Cartridge (page 9).
Danger
DO NOT OPEN the outer case of the instrument!
It is dangerous to open the outer case of the instrument as a Class 3B laser diode is
used inside the instrument.
Opening the instrument case will void the warranty.
For annual maintenance, or if any service that is not described in this operation
manual is required, please contact the distributor.
