Cleaning the Probe
You should inspect and clean the probe regularly to prevent any surface contamination. If
the probe requires cleaning:
1
Disconnect the probe from the oscilloscope, external power supply, and any circuit under
test.
2
Gently clean the probe with a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution.
3
Wipe with clean water to remove the detergent and then dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Cleaning the Sensor Head
The presence of foreign substances such as dust on the mating surfaces of the probe’s
sensor head can cause acoustic resonance and degraded measurements, Therefore, keep
these mating surfaces clean by gently wiping with a soft cloth.
WARNING
Do not try to clean the probe using cleaners containing organic solvents such as benzine, alcohol,
acetone, ether, ketones, thinners, or gasoline. These may cause discoloration or damage. Make sure
the probe is completely dry before reconnecting it for use.
