Device Care & Handling
Device Care & Handling
Users need to do very little maintenance on the AR5000.
Typically, keeping the device in good working order requires
little more than occasional cleaning. Clean the case and
keyboard of the AR5000 with warm water, a mild detergent,
and a toothbrush.
If your AR5000 is going to be used in an environment where
it will be regularly exposed to substances such as oil or tar
that require stronger cleaning supplies, check with Sensus
Customer Support for a list of approved cleaning chemicals
that will not damage the case or seals on the AR5000. Find
contact information for Sensus Customer Support in

on page 1-27.
You do, however, need to observe some basic precautions
when handling the AR5000. The unit is housed in a rugged,
shock resistant, sealed case. But, it is a precision piece of
equipment.
!
Caution Do not use any kind of brush on the
display. A brush will scratch the display
and make it difficult to read the text.
!
Caution The AR5000 is water resistant, but not
water-proof. Do not submerge the unit for
extended periods.
!
Caution Do not drop the AR5000.
