24. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

General Information
To ensure accuracy of the multimeter over an extended period of time, it should be calibrated once a
year. Apart from occasional cleaning and fuse replacements, the meter requires no servicing.
Notes on changing the battery and fuse are provided below.
Regularly check the technical safety of the device and measuring leads, e.g. check
for damage to the housing or squeezing, etc.
Cleaning
Always observe the following safety instructions before cleaning the device:
Live components may be exposed if covers are opened or parts are removed
(unless this can be done without tools).
The connected lines must be disconnected from the meter and all measuring
objects before the device is cleaned or repaired. Switch off the DMM.
Do not use any carbon-containing cleaning agents or petrol, alcohol or the like to clean the product.
They will damage the surface of the meter. Furthermore, the fumes are hazardous to your health and
explosive. Also do not use any sharp-edged tools, screwdrivers, metal brushes, etc. for cleaning.
Use a clean, lint-free, antistatic, slightly damp cloth for cleaning the device or the display and
the measuring leads. Allow the product to dry completely before you use it again to conduct
measurements.
Fuse replacement
