Timely calibration or replacement of sensors |
1) Be sure to avoid a long-time charging. The charging time may extends, and the instrument's sensor may be affected by differences in the charger (or charging environmental differences) when the instrument is open. In most severe cases, it may even appear instrument error display or alarm situation.
2) The normal charging time of 3 to 6 hours or so, try not to charge the instrument in six hours or more to protect the effective life of the battery.
3) The continuous working time of the instrument after full charge is related to the statue of pump switch and alarms. (because pump opening, the flashing, vibration and sound need extra power, When the alarm is always in the state of alarm, the working time is reduced to the original 1/2 to 1/3).
4) Be sure to avoid using the instrument in a corrosive environment
5) Be sure to avoid contact with water instrument.
6) It’s should be unplug the power cable, and charged every 1-2 months, in order to protect the normal battery life when unused for long time.
7) If the instrument freezes or cannot open in the process of use, there is a small hole at the bottom of the back and you can push the needle against it
If the instrument crash or can not be opened, you can unplug the power cord, then plug the power cord to relieve accident crash situation.
8) Make sure the gas indicators are normal when open the instrument.
9) If you need to read the alarm record, its best enter the menu to accurate time before the initialization has not completed to prevent confusion when reading records.
10) Please use the relevant calibration software if needed, because the instrument alone can not be calibrated.
Note: All attachments is optional, which is based on customer needs matching. These optional need extra charge.
