Use only an approved power adapter 12 V 3 A output,
center positive. Do not use the plug-pack transformers
supplied with previous Commtest instrument versions
(such as the vb1000-3000 and Profiler) as these
transformers will be damaged.
The cover over the comms and charger connectors
provides an essential seal. It must be in place
whenever using the instrument in an industrial
environment.
Ensure that the drive current is turned on when using
an IEPE/ICP®-type accelerometer, otherwise the
measurements will be incorrect.
Mount the sensor properly before taking measurements
to ensure their accuracy and consistency.
Use a mild detergent diluted in warm water to clean the
instrument. Do not use abrasive or polishing
substances, hydrocarbons, petrochemicals or solvents,
as they will degrade the plastic casing.
Do not place the instrument or the magnetic mounting
base anywhere that the temperature might exceed 140
°F (60 °C). This will degrade the battery pack and
magnet.
If the instrument malfunctions, return it to an authorized
dealer. Do not attempt to repair the instrument yourself
as this will void your warranty.
