10. WARRANTY, MAINTENANCE
AND BATTERY REPLACEMENT
10.1 WARRANTY
The warranty policy for the AccuMAX XRP-3000
radiometer/photometer kit is provided on the
Certificate of Limited Warranty enclosed separately
with each unit.
NOTE: For assistance of any kind, including help
with a meter under warranty, contact the Customer
Service Department at Spectronics Corporation.
In the United States and Canada, call toll-free
1-800-274-8888. Include the model number, serial
number and date of purchase. If return of the unit is
deemed necessary, shipping instructions will be
provided. If an estimate of charges for nonwarranty
work or other service work is required, a quote will
be furnished upon evaluation of the unit. Out-of-
warranty service work will not be performed without
customer approval.
10.2 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
•Immediately clean all spilled materials from the unit
and wipe dry. If necessary, moisten a cloth with
soap and water to clean plastic surfaces and the
sensor head. The sensor surface should be rinsed
with ethanol to remove any residual soap and/or
organic contaminants.
•Whenever possible, avoid exposure or use in
areas that are subject to temperature and humidity
extremes, vibration or mechanical shock, dust or
corrosive fumes, or strong electrical or electromag-
netic interference.
•It is recommended that both the sensor detector
and the readout unit be returned to the factory
or a recognized Spectroline AccuMAX calibration
service center for a complete overall check and
recalibration at least every 6 or 12 months,
depending on your facility's Standard Operating
Procedures. Before returning the units to our
factory, contact the Customer Service Department
for shipping instructions.
•When the AccuMAX is not in use, store it in a
location free from temperature extremes, dust
or corrosive fumes, and vibration or mechanical
shock.
•If storing for an extended period, place the
AccuMAX in its carrying case after removing
the batteries.
10.3 BATTERY REPLACEMENT
•Disconnect the sensor detector.
•Remove the readout unit from its rubber boot.
•Slide the battery cover to the right to expose the
internal battery compartment.
•Carefully remove the used batteries and replace
both 9V batteries.
•Follow the instructions for battery polarity marked
on the battery compartment.
•Slide the battery cover back until fully in position.
•Return the readout unit to its rubber boot
encasement.
10.4 HIGH VISIBLE LIGHT READINGS
Certain black light lamps, including the new UV-A
LED lamps, have extremely high UV intensities,
which can lead to higher visible light readings.
This can sometimes be attributed to naturally
fluorescing materials that may be present on, or
part of, meter sensors. It may also be caused by
high ambient light in the testing area. Make sure
that meter sensors are clean, serviceable and
calibrated properly. See Preventive Maintenance
for more information.
