7 Handling and maintenance
7.1 General
The 865 Dosimat plus requires appropriate care. Excess contamination of
the instrument may result in malfunctions and a reduction in the service
life of the sturdy mechanics and electronics of the instrument.
Severe contamination can also have an influence on the measured results.
Regular cleaning of exposed parts can prevent this to a large extent.
Spilled chemicals and solvents must be removed immediately. Above all,
the plug connections (in particular the mains connection socket) should be
protected from contamination.
Check all tubing connections regularly for leakage.
