      Miranda WalkerAug 5, 2025
      If your CEM Laboratory Equipment is inoperative, make sure the power cord is correctly plugged into both the system and a dedicated, grounded outlet—using a power cord with the appropriate rating. Then, check that the power switch is in the “on” position. If these steps don't solve the problem, contact CEM Corporation as the fuse may be blown.

      Cassandra RodriguezAug 25, 2025
      If the temperature reading on your CEM Laboratory Equipment is incorrect, start by cleaning the iWave sensors with a lint-free damp cloth. If the issue continues, calibrate the sensor using the AutoCal Calibration device, following the procedure outlined in this manual. If you don't have the AutoCal calibration device, contact CEM Corporation.
