LI-COR LI-710 - Section 9. Maintenance; Basic sensor checkup

Section 9.
Maintenance
The LI-710 requires little maintenance under normal circumstances. However, some
routine attention will ensure that the instrument keeps running well over the long
term, and will help you get better, more complete measurements.
Basic sensor checkup
You can conduct a basic check
just by looking at the LI-710.
l
Check the transducers to be
sure they are not covered in
bird droppings or dirt. Clean
them with a moist cloth and
mild detergent if necessary.
l
Check the air intake - look
for visible obstructions or
anything that might interfere
with air flow and remove it.
If the filter is dirty, replace it
(see Replacing the intake filter
on the next page).
l
Inspect the exhaust vent -
look for insect colonies or
nests. Clear anything that
might obstruct the air flow (see Accessing the exhaust vent on page9-7).
