Chapter 5 46
Although the scanner can be rinsed with water, do not rinse the PA probe connector if
it is disconnected. Water in the connector may cause equipment malfunction, damage,
electric shock, or injury.
4. If dirt or foreign particles have accumulated on the scanner surface or in its
mechanism, gently rinse it with water to wash dirt away until the scanner opens
and closes smoothly with the thumb wheel.
5. To bring the external surface back to its original finish, clean it with a soft cloth.
6. To get rid of persistent stains, use a damp cloth and a soft soapy solution. Do not
use abrasive products or powerful solvents that might damage the finish.
7. Make sure that the connectors are dry before reconnecting them. If they are not
dry, either dry them off using compressed air, or wait until they dry on their own.
5.3 Changing a Magnetic Wheel
Depending on use, it may be necessary to periodically change the magnetic wheels.
The magnetic attraction forces around the magnetic wheels may pose certain safety
risks, depending on use and operating conditions.
The magnetic wheels have a magnetic field strength of approximately 0.99 milligauss
at a distance of 2.1 m (7 ft) away from the wheels. This is well below the 2 milligauss
limit at which a product would be considered to be a magnetic material requiring
special handling during shipment by air. This means that the FlexoFORM scanner can
be shipped by air without restrictions.
Magnetic wheels present a risk of finger crushing if fingers are placed between the
wheels and a ferromagnetic surface.
