The tachometer requires no special maintenance other than changing the battery and cleaning the
housing.
- Adjustments
The device has no internal adjustments. Measurement accuracy is ensured by a highly stable crystal
oscillator.
- Cleaning the housing
Clean with a cloth moistened with soapy water, then plain water.
A dirty sighting window can severely impair the sighting characteristics, making any measurement
impossible or unstable.
- Cleaning the mechanical kit
Clean with a cloth moistened with soapy water, then plain water.
The use of alcohol or of another solvent might irreversibly damage the mechanical adapter by degrading
its lubrication.
- Replacement of the battery
When the battery symbol appears on the display unit, the battery must be replaced.
Set the switch to "OFF".
- Open the battery compartment, located on the back of the device. Unscrew the screw using a tool
(coin, etc.)
- Remove the battery and insert a new one in its place, taking care with the polarity. Use a 6LF22 or
similar alkaline battery.
- Close the cover of the compartment and tighten the screw moderately.
- Storage
For extended periods of non-use, we recommend removing the battery from the device and storing it
separately.
- Metrological check
Like all measuring or testing devices, the instrument must be checked regularly.
This instrument should be checked at least once a year. For checks and calibrations, contact one of our
accredited metrology laboratories (information and contact details available on request), at our Chauvin
Arnoux subsidiary or the branch in your country.
