CONTACT CLEANING
For cleaning fine silver contacts, a flexible
burnishing tool should be used, This consists of a
flexible strip of metal with an etched roughened
surface, resembling in effect a superfine file. The
polishing action is so delicate that no scratches are
left, yet corroded material will be removed rapidly
and thoroughly.
The flexibility of the tool insures
the cleaning of the actual points of contact.
Fine silver contacts should not be cleaned with
knives, files, or abrasive paper or cloth.
Knives
or files may leave scratches which increase arcing
and deterioration of the contacts. Abrasive paper or
cloth may leave minute particles of insulating
abrasive material in the contacts and thus prevent
closing.
The burnishing tool described above can
be
obtained from the factory.
PERIO DIC TESTING

of
the relay at
least once every six months are recommended. Test
connections are shown in Fig. 18.
