8 Maintenance and Support

Functional Check

Correct functioning of the Resipod can be checked with the test strip provided . The test strip is intended to be used by both Resipod models (38 mm,1 .5” and 50 mm spacing) .

The upper row allows the functional check using the full 200 µA range . The lower row allows the functional check using the reduced 50 µA range . Resistors to the outer pads limit the maximum current to approx . 20 µA, (only two segments in the current indicator strip are active) .

The expected test results are summarized in the table below:

Current range

200µA (upper row)

50 µA (lower row)

Expected test result

38 mm (1.5”) spacing

12 (±0 .2) k Ωcm

90 (±1 .8) k Ωcm

Expected test result

50 mm spacing

16 (±0 .2) k Ωcm

120 (±2 .4) k Ωcm

Cleaning of the probes and the body

The probes can be removed for cleaning, replacement or for fitting test accessories, such as the variable spacing probe . They’re snap fit, so simply pull them off . Be careful not to lose the spring .

After cleaning, replace the probes by inserting them into the shafts and snapping them firmly into place . Ensure the fit by pressing on the rubber cap as shown in the figure .

Long caps go on outer probes .

Probes need not be kept moist when the unit is not in use .

The unit can be rinsed with water (make sure USB cover is firmly in place) . Since the instrument has an extremely high input impedance, check that the underside of the case is clean (dirt or salt deposits might create leakage currents and yield faulty readings) .

Note! The springs are intentionally long to ensure a constant pressure on all four probes, while allowing a ± 4 mm displacement on the inner tips to accommodate uneven or curved surfaces .
