15. Maintaining and Troubleshooting the 38DL PLUS
This section describes how to maintain your 38DL PLUS by applying routine care and
maintenance.
15.1 Providing Routine Gage Maintenance
The 38DL PLUS case is sealed to prevent intrusion of environmental liquids and dust
when the I/O door is closed. However, the instrument should never be immersed in
any fluid.
The 38DL PLUS case is designed to withstand normal field use. However, as with any
electronic instrument, damage is possible if not handled with some care. Observe the
following instructions in particular:
• Never press a key with a hard or sharp object.
• When connecting cables to the instrument, first align the connector with the
mating receptacle on the instrument (dual element D79X series transducer center
pin is down, and the RS-232 I/O cable key tab facing down), then carefully insert
the connector straight into the receptacle.
• When disconnecting cables from the instrument, first grasp the connector (not the
cable), and then gently pull it out.
• Do not throw or drop the instrument.
• Do not use strong solvents or abrasives to clean the rubber boot, case, keypad,
and display screen.
