5.2 CLEANING
To ensure optimum performance, it is important to keep the probe jaw
mating surfaces clean at all times. Failure to do so may result in increased
earth’s field susceptibility and overall errors in readings. The following is
the recommended procedure for cleaning the probe sensor:
1. Apply a few drops of isopropyl alcohol to an ordinary sheet of white
photocopy paper.
2. Open probe to expose the mating surfaces of the sensor and insert
the sheet of paper into the jaws. Allow the jaws to close.
3. With the jaws closed, pull free the end of the paper through the jaws
until it releases.
4. Repeat step (3) several times, using a new (dry) section of paper
each time.
5. Open probe and inspect mating surfaces. They should be free of
dust particles or any other contamination. Otherwise, repeat the
cleaning process starting again at Step (1).
