16 CARE & MAINTENTANCE
16.1 TAKING CARE OF YOUR CALIBRATION TILE
Using dirty, scratched or damaged calibration tiles will affect the
accuracy and performance of the Elcometer 480. If the gauge is
unable to take a reading on the calibration tile, the user will be
prompted to clean the tile.
Calibration tiles should be cleaned using a lint free cloth, supplied with
each gauge and available as an optional accessory, sales part number
T99923535. Do not use chemicals or materials which may scratch the
tile. Wipe the tile applying only light pressure, using excess pressure
may damage the surface of the calibration tile.
A lint free cloth with an optical cleaning solution can be used to remove
stubborn dirt. Clean the tile with the wet cloth then wipe the surface
with a dry lint free cloth to remove any streaks.
Scratched or damaged tiles should be replaced, see Section 14.1
'Calibration Tiles' on page en-24.
16.2 TAKING CARE OF YOUR GLOSSMETER
Dirt or dust on the measurement optics will affect the gauge
performance. The optics can be cleaned using an air blower.
DO NOT touch or attempt to clean the optics with cloths or liquids
as this will cause damage.
The gauge incorporates a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). If the
display is heated above 50°C (120°F) it may be damaged. This
can happen if the gauge is left in a car parked in direct sunlight.
