Chapter 9. Maintenance and Troubleshooting
9.1 Introduction
This section provides instruction on how to care for and troubleshoot the LTR-150 to prolong longevity,
maintain precision and accuracy, and functionality.
9.2 Maintenance
Before maintenance and cleaning, ensure that the LTR-150 has sufficiently cooled and that the unit has been
powered off and unplugged from the electrical outlet.
9.2.1 Dry Block
 If recently used, allow the LTR-150 to stabilize at room temperature before attempting to remove
the adapter sleeve.
 Once properly acclimated, use the insert exchange tool to unscrew the black moisture protection
insert out of the metal block.
 Once properly acclimated, use the insert exchange tool to pull the adapter sleeve out of the metal
block.
 Clean the adapter sleeve and the metal block with a dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth. This
prevents the adapter sleeve from getting stuck in the metal block.
9.2.2 Micro Bath
 If recently used, allow the LTR-150 to stabilize at room temperature before attempting to remove
the micro bath components.
 Remove the sensor cage from the tank.
 Remove the magnetic stirrer with the help of the magnetic lifter.
 Carefully pour the silicon oil in its original container.
 Clean the cage, the magnetic stirrer, magnetic lifter, and the tank then allow to dry thoroughly
before storing.
 Replace fouled or aged silicon oil as needed.
 Replace the magnetic stirrer when the fillet in its middle has worn. The fillet reduces friction during
rotary movement. A worn fillet increases friction upsetting the reliability of the stirring function.
9.2.3 Surface Temperature
 If recently used, allow the LTR-150 to stabilize at room temperature before attempting to remove
the adapter sleeve.
 Once properly acclimated, use the insert exchange tool to pull the surface insert out of the metal
block.
 Clean the surface insert and the metal block with a dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth. This prevents
the surface insert from getting stuck in the metal block.
