5: Maintenance & Repair
5.1 Introduction
This instrument does not contain any user-serviceable parts. The following notes are provided as a guide to
general equipment
5.2 General care
The following notes are provided as a guide to general equipment care.
1. Ensure the unit is disconnected from the mains, then wipe the exterior of the instrument with a clean, damp
cloth or paper towel. Do not use a solvent-based cleaning fluid on the instrument as it could damage the
instrument surface.
2. Ensure all cables and connectors are kept clean and free from grease or contaminants. Connectors may be
cleaned with a general purpose cleaner if necessary.
3. Avoid the use of excessive grease/ultrasonic couplant on the sensors as this may impair the performance of
the equipment. Excessive grease/couplant can be removed from the sensors and transducer holders using
an absorbent paper towel and a general purpose solvent cleaner.
4. We recommend that the ultrasonic couplant is replaced on the sensors every 6 months, especially on pipes
where the application is too hot to touch. If the signal level drops below 30% this is also an indication that the
sensors need re-greasing.
5. Regularly check all cables/parts for damage. Replacement parts are available from Dwyer.
6. Ensure the person who services your instrument is qualified to do so. If in doubt, return the instrument to
Dwyer with a detailed report on the nature of any problem.
7. Ensure that suitable precautions are taken when using any materials to clean the instrument/sensors.
8. If the instrument was supplied with dust or dirt caps make sure they are re-fitted when the instrument is not in
use.
