Care And Maintenance - Exergen TemporalScanner TAT-5000 Manual De Instrucciones

Care and Maintenance

• Battery: A standard alkaline 9V battery provides approximately 15,000 readings. **
To replace, loosen the single screw at the bottom of the instrument and remove the
battery cover. Disconnect the old battery and replace with a new one in the same
location. Replace the cover, and tighten the screw. Use only high quality alkaline
batteries or equivalent.
• Handling: The TemporalScanner is designed and built to industrial durability standards
in order to provide long and trouble-free service. However, it is also a high precision
optical instrument, and should be accorded the same degree of care in handling as you
would provide other precision optical instruments, such as cameras or otoscopes.
• Cleaning the case: The TemporalScanner case can be wiped down with any hospital approved disinfectant,
including bleach.
• Cleaning the sensor lens: With normal use, the only maintenance required is to
keep the lens on the end of the probe clean. It is made of special mirror-like, coated
silicon infrared-transmitting material. However, dirt, greasy films or moisture on the
lens will interfere with the passage of infrared heat and affect the accuracy of the
instrument. Regularly clean the lens with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. Use only
light force for cleaning, to avoid damaging the lens. Water can be used to remove any
residual film left by the alcohol. Do not use bleach or other cleaning solutions on the sensor lens.
• Sterilization: The industrial grade housing and design of the electronic components allow for completely
safe disinfecting with any accepted solution.
• Calibration: Factory calibration data is installed via a computer which communicates with the TemporalScanner's
microprocessor. The instrument automatically self-calibrates each time it is turned on using this data, and will never
require recalibration. If readings are not correct, the instrument should be returned for repair. See instructions of
the return process.
Instructions for Fahrenheit or Celsius Conversion
The TemporalScanner can be used in either °F or °C. The TemporalScanner will come preset based on your preference
at the time of purchase. To convert from one scale to the other, the only tool necessary is a small screwdriver.
For °F/°C Conversion:
• Loosen single screw on bottom of case and remove battery cover.
• Remove battery.
• Locate the switch to the right of the battery (shown in the drawing), and with the tip
of the screwdriver, slide up or down to the desired scale.
• Remove the screwdriver.
• Replace battery and cover.
