The equipment must be
packaged
and
transported between the
school and the
supplier.
Sources of Repair
can
Cost
Obtain a written estimate before
authorising the work.
If the cost of repair is such that it
approaches the cost of a replacement,
decide to buy a new one.
Costs of routine servicing or repairs may
be reduced if the items can be brought
together to one place for the technician to
work on.
Transport
If the firm is local, find out whether it is
possible to deliver and collect the
equipment in person.
Where a firm has a van service, precise
arrangements are made concerning the
time and place of collection.
Postal services are unsatisfactory.
Time scale
Firms may charge higher rates for
urgent repairs. Unless there is a real
need for an express service, be very
careful about saying that a repair
needs to be done quickly.

Electronic balances
work on one of two
principles: balances
with load cells and
those with force
motors.
The main servicing
required is to check
their accuracy at
regular intervals.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Repairs
Check the fuse in the plug and any
fuse inside the instrument.
Find the instruction book for the
balance and its original packing.
If the balance is under guarantee,
contact the firm that you bought it
from.
In house maintenance
1. Two or three times a year, clean the
accessible surfaces of objectives
and eyepiece.
2. Every three or four years;
clean the mechanical parts,
strip down the mechanism sufficiently to
inspect and lubricate the focus drives etc,
reassemble,
replace minor missing or damaged parts:
lamps, stage clips etc and possibly the
focusing rack.
Professional maintenance
Check if a local group arrangement exists in
neighbouring schools for the servicing of
microscopes.
Services of a professional maintenance
company is expensive, so school need to
ensure that the best use is made of the time
available.
All faults should be reported to the
technician and it is advisable to check that
they have been successfully dealt with.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The pH meter works using electric current
with the following characteristics.
Power: Single phase Voltage: 110 V or
220-230 V Frequencies;
50-60Hz depending on the World region.
There is also portable pH meters powered
with batteries.
Must be calibrated before use to
guarantee the quality and accuracy of the
readings.

requires periodic maintenance of the
conducting solution to obtain precise
readings.

Centrifuge
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Centrifuges require the following for normal
operation:
1. An electrical connection with a capacity
suitable for the equipment providing stable
single phase or triphase type voltage
(depending on the model and specifi
cation given by the manufacturer). In
general, centrifuges use 110V or 220 V/60
Hz.
