6 Care and Transport 6.1 Maintenance ☞ For units that are exposed to high mechanical forces, for example through frequent transport or rough handling, it is recommended to carry out test measurements periodically. 6.2 Transport Transport in the field When transporting the equipment in the field, always make sure that you carry the product in its original container. Transport in a road vehicle Never carry the product loose in a road vehicle, as it can be affected by shock and vibration.
6.4 Cleaning and Drying Damp products Dry the product, the transport case, the foam inserts and the accessories at a temperature not higher than 40°C /104°F and clean them. Remove the battery cover and dry the battery compartment. Do not repack until everything is completely dry. Always close the mission bag when using in the field. Housing parts of product and accessories • • Charger and AC/DC power supply Use only a clean, soft, lint-free cloth for cleaning.
Switch off instrument and remove the battery. Washing hands is necessary in order to avoid grease on the cleaning tissue. Better, use gloves to avoid finger oil on the glass. Then use the wet lens cleaning tissue (Green Clean LC-7010) until there is only a thin film of detergent visible. After that use the dry lens cleaning tissue (Green Clean LC-7010) to remove any remaining detergent. If any smears from cleaning are visible against back light, repeat the procedure.
The following steps 4. to 6. shall not be done in the same room as the mounting/dismounting takes place. ☞ 4. Clean the fine filter cartridge with fresh clean compressed air, for example with compressed air spray. Clean it from the inside of the fine filter cartridge to the out and not the vice-versa. 5. Clean the coarse suction filter with fresh clean compressed air, for example with compressed air spray. Clean it from the inside out and not the vice-versa. 6.
