10. MAINTENANCE
The SMP3 requires very little maintenance, although it should be handled
with care, as with any professional measurement equipment.
Maintenance by the user is limited to the outside of the device, its
connections and management of regular calibrations. Any maintenance or
repair for which the device needs to be opened must be carried out by
Wavecontrol to avoid invalidating the warranty.
10.1. Cleaning the device and the screen
To avoid damaging the surface, use a soft anti-static cloth to clean the device
and the screen. Use extra care when cleaning the screen to avoid scratching it.
10.2. Handling the device
The SMP3 and its field probes are not watertight. When using them outdoors,
protect them from rain.
The device and the probes must also be protected from heavy vibrations or blows.
10.3. Regular recalibration
Wavecontrol recommends that the SMP3 and its probes should be
recalibrated every 2 years. This is strictly a recommendation and it is up to
the owner of the device to decide how often to recalibrate. That decision
may depend on a number of factors. For example, if the device is used very
frequently, it may be advisable to recalibrate it more often, as would also be
the case if the device has had any accident that might make its accuracy
questionable, or where specific regulations require a stipulated regularity for
recalibration, or simply at the request of the organisation or client for which
the device is being used, among other circumstances.
