IV. Handling & Maintenance
1. Store the PRF-914B in a clean, dry environment with both BNC and Probe covers installed for
environmental and mechanical protection.
2. Periodically, remove all spring-loaded test pins. Clean the spring-loaded test probes and Teflon
mounting disk with a solution of laboratory grade isopropyl alcohol and a lint-less cloth, or
laboratory quality swab. Allow components to dry thoroughly be fore re-assembling.
a. Remove each test probe individually by grasping it firmly then pulling
it straight out of its socket.
b. Inspect each probe for damage, then clean with the alcohol solution.
If a probe is damaged, i.e., bent, does not compress smoothly, or has
deep surface scratches, replace it with a new probe of the same size
and characteristics. (Contact Prostat Corporation, Customer Service
for spare replacement probes.)
c. Clean and dry the Teflon mounting disk twice to insure cleanliness
d. Carefully re-install the spring-loaded test probes, and fully re-seat
them in their sockets
