Bluelab Truncheon Meter - Manual (Page 3)

2.0 Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning the Truncheon Meter probe frequently ensures accurate readings.
Clean the probe with a liquid scourer cream used in home bathrooms and
kitchens such as ‘Jif’, ‘Liquid Vim’, ‘Soft Scrub’, ‘Cif’, or ‘Viss’. Never use scented
varieties of cleaner as they affect the probe functions.
Remove shroud
Twist the shroud 90 degrees and then remove the
shroud.
Clean probe face
Place one or two drops of unscented liquid scourer,
such as ‘Jif’, ‘Liquid Vim’, ‘Soft Scrub’, ‘Cif, or ‘Viss’
on the probe face. Rub probe face with your fi nger or
Bluelab Chamois fi rmly and vigorously to clean.
Rinse probe
Rinse off all traces of cleaner under running water
using the same fi nger or other side of Bluelab
Chamois. Check that the water forms a fi lm on the
probe face with no ‘beads’ of water. If beading is
present repeat the cleaning process.
Replace shroud
