7 Maintenance and repairs
This chapter gives instructions on maintenance work to be performed in order to keep the instrument
in good and safe working condition. All maintenance and repair work requiring the opening or removal
of the instrument housing must be carried out by trained personnel and only with the tools provided
for this purpose.
NOTE
Use only genuine consumables and spare parts for any maintenance and repair work in order
to assure warranty and continued system performance. Any modifications of the Encapsulator
B-395 Pro or parts of it need prior written permission of the manufacturer.
7 .1 Customer service
Only authorized service personnel are allowed to perform repair work on the instrument. Authoriza-
tion requires a comprehensive technical training and knowledge of possible dangers which might arise
when working at the instrument. Such training and knowledge can only be provided by BUCHI.
Addresses of official BUCHI customer service offices are given on the BUCHI website under:
www.buchi.com. If malfunctions occur on your instrument or you have technical questions or applica-
tion problems, contact one of these offices.
The customer service offers the following:

7 .2 Housing condition
Check the housing for visible defects (switches, plugs, cracks) and clean it regularly with a damp cloth.
The Encapsulator control unit should be handled as with any other piece of electrical equipment. The
front panel is covered by a polyamide sheet, so that it may be cleaned with a mild detergent solution
or alcohol.
7 .3 Sealing conditions
It is recommended to check the integrity of the sealings on a regular base. Gaskets, O-rings and sili-
cone tubing should be replaced periodically (approximately once per year). Check all parts before use
and replace if needed.
