Cleaning
The VIBTOOL optical sensor must be clean and free from
dust, etc. to avoid inaccuracy during measurement. Use a
soft cotton cloth to remove any dirt from the optical sensor
and display window. Also, avoid vigorous polishing to
preserve the anti-reflective coating of the glass element.
The VIBTOOL housing can be cleaned using a soft cloth
dampened with a mild detergent.
When it is not in use, cover the con-
nector for an external sensor with the
dust cap to keep it clean.
Moreover, it is important to follow the
specifications of EN 60079-14 and EN
60079-17 that apply to maintenance
and servicing.
