Changing The Battery - 3B SCIENTIFIC PHYSICS Escola 30 Manual De Instrucciones

10. Battery, care and maintenance
10.1 Battery testing:
Batteries which are discharged and have not been
used for a while may leak.

Check the amount of charge left in
the battery from time to time.

Flat or leaking batteries should be removed from the meter.
If the Escola 30 goes unused for a
long period:
 Remove the Escola 30's battery
before reusing.

10.2 Changing the battery:

Before opening the casing:

Turn off the Escola 30.

Disconnect all measuring leads.
The polarity is indicated by plus and minus signs
inside the fuse holder compartment. A mechanical
system ensures the battery makes no contact if it
is inserted the wrong way round.

Unscrew the back of the casing.

Replace flat batteries with 1.5-V alkaline bat-
teries of size AA IEC LR6.

Place the negative pole of the battery on the
spring.

Close casing again.
10.3 Cleaning:

For cleaning, use a soft cloth, slightly mois-
tened with alcohol, or a brush.
Electrostatic charging of the display window can
affect the measurements under certain circum-
stances:

To remove such charge, use a soft cloth
slightly soaked in alcohol or a paint brush.
Dirt or moisture in the measurement sockets can
affect readings.

Shake out any dirt that may be in the meas-
urement sockets.

Soak a new swab with isopropyl alcohol and
work around the inside of each measurement
socket.
