Cleaning instructions
Vane
probes
Instrument and probe must be switched off or disconnected prior to cleaning.
As the probes are highly sensitive measuring instruments, they must be cleaned
with very great care.
Fibres or other foreign bodies can be carefully removed with fine tweezers.
When doing so, take care not to bend or otherwise damage the vanes or the
spindle.
The adjustment of the bearing screws must never be changed. This can
result in erroneous measurements.
Never allow hard objects to contact rotating impellers!!!
Cleaning agents which extract the plasticizer from the plastic are never to be used
for plastic probes (practically all solvents!).
We recommend the following for cleaning the probes:
-running water
-soapy water
-pure benzene
Cleaning example:
1) Carefully swish the top part of the impeller back
and forth in clean, pure benzene for ca. 10 min. Then
swish the top part of the impeller back and forth in
clean kerosene for ca. 1 min. to relubricate the impeller
bearings.
If soapy water is used as a cleaning agent it is advisable
to wash out the soap solution thoroughly with distilled water before lubrication
with kerosene.
2) After cleaning the probe, rub it dry externally with a clean, dry, fluff-free cloth.
3) Leave the top part of the impeller to dry for ca. 30 minutes.
