8 Miscellaneous
8.0 Care and Maintenance
8.0.1 Cleaning the Instrument
The instrument should be cleaned with a lint free cloth, slightly moistened using mild household cleanser, alcohol or
spirits. Caustic cleansers and solvents (Trio, Chlorothene, etc.) should definitely be avoided. The test chamber should
be cleaned very often to ensure accurate results and no interferences to the test specimen or high voltage fields.
8.0.2 Instrument Calibration
When delivered new from the factory, the instrument is calibrated in accordance with the calibration report provided.
An annual calibration of the instrument is recommended.
As the calibration process is fairly extensive, the instrument is recommended to be calibrated annually and, if
necessary, adjusted at HIPOTRONICS’s factory. An updated calibration report will then be issued.
8.1 Instrument Storage
If the instrument is to remain unused for any length of time, it is recommended to protect this high precision
instrument from moisture and accumulation of dust and dirt with a suitable covering. See the storage ratings for
temperature and humidity in the technical specifications section.
8.2 Packing and Transport
The packing of the 840PL-HD instrument provides satisfactory protection for normal transport
conditions. Nevertheless, care should be taken when transporting the instrument. If return of the
instrument is necessary, and the original packing crate is no longer available, then packing of an
equivalent standard or better should be used.
Whenever possible protect the instrument from mechanical damage during transport with padding. Mark the container
with the pictogram symbols "Fragile“ and “Protect from moisture“.
8.3 Recycling
When the instrument reaches the end of its working life it can, if required, be disassembled and recycled. No special
instructions are necessary for dismantling.
The instrument is constructed of metal parts (mostly aluminum) and synthetic materials. The various component parts
can be separated and recycled, or disposed of in accordance with the associated local rules and regulations.
