8. Cleaning
8.1 Cleaning of Sensor
To clean the rotary ow sensor, release and remove sensor, rinse it with mild
cleansing agent, e.g. Instruton E by ANTISEPTICA Dr. Hans-Joachim Molitor GmbH
according to instructions of manufacturer, and then rinse with clean distilled water.
Shake off any remaining water on the sensor. Air-dry and reinsert the sensor. Any
minor discoloration in the sensor does not affect the performance of the AM3.
The Cleaning of the sensor should be performed every week or more frequently if
often heavily polluted. Furthermore, it is recommended to exchange the rotary ow
sensory with a new one after one year of use or 2000 measurements. If the sensor
is heavily polluted frequently, the exchange with a new sensor should be performed
every six months or as required. If there are any doubts that the measurement values
are correct, the rotary ow sensor has to be exchanged immediately.
8.2 Checking the Sensor
If your AM3 does not measure accurately, exchange the sensor or contact the
responsible Monitor or ERT Customer Care Helpdesk.
DO NOT use alcohol or any type of household cleaner!
