Using Connector Gages
Before using the connector gages, they must be inspected, cleaned, and
zeroed. See also,
ID-C112CX/1012CX
.
Inspecting and Cleaning Gages
Using an illuminated magnifying glass, inspect the connector gage and the
gage master carefully as well as the connector you are about to measure.
Foreign material on the gage, gage master or connector will make the
measurement inaccurate.
To clean connector surfaces we recommend using compressed air, directing
the air where it is needed through a plastic (not metal) nozzle.
If the compressed air does not remove the foreign material, use a cotton swab
(or if the swab is too large a round wooden toothpick (do not use metal)
wrapped in a single layer of lint-free cleaning cloth) soaked in isopropyl
alcohol.
Dry the connector and gage surfaces with a brief blast of the compressed air.
IMPORTANT!
Before you make a measurement, verify the gage is not
displaying
