Specifications

The MicroMeter is a sensitive piece of scientific equipment. Great care should be taken when handling and cleaning it.
1) Do NOT drop any piece of scientific equipment, e.g. the MicroMeter. Damage may occur to the case or electronic components on
the circuit board may become dislodged, and inaccuracy may occur.
2) Keep the meter in its neoprene case when not in use. This will help protect the meter from the elements and accidental droppage.
3) Store the meter in a cool dry area when not in use in order to keep the meter in top working condition.
4) We recommend not removing the universal connector as it is not necessary for cleaning. Its parts are very fragile, small, and easy to
lose.
5) Always remember to replace the rubber cap on the connector. This will keep dust and dirt out of it when you are not using the meter.
1) Use only 99% or better Isopropyl alcohol when cleaning the detector. Any less than 99% contains too much water and will begin to
corrode the components. 99% Isopropyl alcohol is very flammable, so additional care must be taken when cleaning the detector.
99% Isopropyl alcohol can be purchased at your local drug store.
2) Whenever possible, use specially designed 2.5mm cleaning sticks to clean the detector. These do not require alcohol and do not
damage the insides of the connector. Do not used sticks or swabs of any other type because they may damage the zirconium ferrule or
the coating of the detector inside the connector, or may leave behind dust or fibers that will add loss to the fiber reading.
3) The detector port should be cleaned at the beginning and end of the testing day to keep connector loss during testing at a minimum.
4) When cleaning the meter itself, do not use any household cleaner that contains ammonia as this will damage any plastic it comes
in contact with.
5) The case is splash-proof, so it is not necessary to clean the inside of the meter.
6) Only use lint-free cloths. Anything else may scratch the plastic of the display.
