5.7 Maintenance and Repair
Maintenance The qSCALE S6 maestro central control unit and vSCALE D2 maestro consle contain no wearing
parts and therefore cannot be opened. If you notice malfunctions or differences between actual and dis-
played measured values, you should switch the device off and have it checked and, if necessary, re-
paired immediately by an authorized WIKA service partner.
Cleaning Clean the surface and the front screen of the device occasionally with a damp cloth and a mild deter-
gent. Never use abrasive or aggressive detergents as these may damage the device.
IMPORTANT
Device may be damaged by the use of high-pressure cleaners.
The device must not be treated with a high-pressure cleaner or similarly aggressive method under any
circumstances!
Usage Condensation inside the vSCALE D2 maestro console can damage electronic components or the LCD
and can condense at the inner side of the front glass/touch. Although the vSCALE D2 maestro console
is designed as a closed housing with a Gore-Tex-Membrane for breathing, condensation may occur as a
physical effect, if the console is exposed to unfavorable temperature/humidity cycles, which pumps hu-
midity inside the housing.
Repair Damage to the front foil can lead to the penetration of moisture and dirt into the interior of the device,
which must then be properly repaired without delay.
Keep the contacts and the area around the device connectors clean and check occasionally that all con-
nections are secure.
If parts are damaged, they must be properly repaired or replaced immediately.
