As a precision testing instrument, the Colorimeter needs to be maintained and cleared during use, whether it is a domestic brand or an imported brand, to enhance the service life of the instrument. This issue mainly introduces the cleaning and maintenance of domestic brand Colorimeters. There are many types and models of domestic brand Colorimeters. In this issue, we will introduce the NH310 Colorimeter of Sanenshi.
Maintenance of domestic brand Colorimeter
In fact, we will add maintenance rules in the instrument manual when the Colorimeter leaves the factory. As long as you operate the basic maintenance according to the above requirements, it will be ok, but there are still some tips in daily application that are not mentioned above. Let me share them here. The instrument description says:
·This instrument is a precision measuring instrument. During measurement, drastic changes in the external environment of the instrument should be avoided, such as flickering of ambient light and rapid changes in temperature should be avoided during measurement.
·This instrument is not waterproof and cannot be used in high humidity environment or water mist.
·Keep the instrument clean, avoid water, dust and other liquids, powders or fixed foreign objects from entering the measuring aperture and the interior of the instrument, and avoid impacts and collisions on the instrument.
·After the instrument is used up, put the Colorimeter and calibration cylinder into the instrument case and keep them properly.
·Remember to remove the battery if the instrument will not be used for a long time.
·The instrument should be placed in a dry and cool environment.
Users are not allowed to disassemble the instrument without permission. Because this instrument is a precision instrument, there are many small parts inside that are easy to be damaged and lost. When users who are not familiar with the internal structure of the instrument disassemble the instrument, it will not only fail to solve your existing problems, but may also cause irreversible damage.
other details
Many NH310 Colorimeter users like to use the calibration plate of the instrument as a protective cover. After using the instrument, it is not put back in the instrument box, but placed directly on the workbench. Wasted time back in the instrument box increases workload. However, the operators feel that placing it directly on the workbench will make the instrument caliber dirty, so they use the calibration plate as a protective cover, which is a big taboo. The calibration plate of the Colorimeter itself is white to calibrate the accuracy of the instrument. Such an operation can easily cause contamination of the white plate and greatly reduce its accuracy. Therefore, users are reminded not to use the whiteboard as a protective cover. At the same time, Sanenshi also saw this problem. In order to avoid this phenomenon, the whiteboard was modified. Now the NH310 series whiteboard has been changed to the same long board as the imported instrument and has a protective cover. In this way, the user can completely prevent the whiteboard from being polluted by placing the instrument directly on it. However, the users of the old version of the instrument must remember not to use the whiteboard as a protective cover during use, which will seriously affect the accuracy of your instrument.
The following is the question about instrument cleaning
Generally, what can be cleaned by users is the appearance of the instrument and the whiteboard. Be sure to use alcohol with relatively high volatility when cleaning, and remember not to get the liquid inside the instrument. Clean the whiteboard as much as possible to maintain its "whiteness" to prevent deviations in calibration and reduce measurement accuracy.
The other is the cleaning of the integrating sphere, which is something that users cannot do by themselves. Generally, the instrument will be used for a period of time due to problems with the operating environment and the product itself, and the integrating sphere will have certain dust and ash stains on it. This is to send the instrument back to the original factory for cleaning and dust removal.
The above are some introductions to the maintenance and cleaning work of domestic brand Colorimeters, hoping to provide some reference for relevant users in the industry.
