To clean the front panel use freon, isopropyl alcohol,
or totally denatured ethyl alcohol. Do not use
petroleum based cleansing agents. Before using any
other type of cleaner, consult your Tektronix Service
Center or representative.
The best way to clean the interior is to blow off the
accumulated dust with dry, Iow-velocity air (approximate-
ly 5
or use a soft brush or cloth dampened with a
mild detergent and water solution.
Hold the board so the cleaning residue runs away from
the connectors, Do not scrape or use an eraser tocleanthe
edge connector contacts. Abrasive cleaning can remove
the gold plating.
Circuit boards and components must be dry before
applying power to prevent damage from electrical
arcing.
Obtaining Replacement Parts
Electrical and mechanical parts can be obtained
through your local Tektronix Field Office or represen-
tative. However, it may be possible to obtain many of the
standard electronic components from a local commercial
source. Before purchasing or ordering a part from a
source other than Tektronix, Inc., check the Replaceable
Electrical Parts list for the proper value, rating, tolerance,
and description.
NOTE
When selecting replacement parts, remember that
the physical size and shape of a component may
affect its performance in the instrument.
Some parts are manufactured or selected by Tektronix,
Inc., to satisfy particular requirements, or are manufac-
tured for Tektronix, Inc., to our specifications. Most of the
mechanical parts used in this instrument have been
manufactured by Tektronix, Inc. To determine the
manufacturer refer to the Replaceable Parts list and the
Cross Reference index, Mfr. Code Number to Manufac-
turer.
When ordering replacement parts from Tektronix, Inc.,
include the following information.
1. Instrument
2. Instrument
type and option number.
serial number.
3. A description of the
complete circuit number).
4. Tektronix part number.
Soldering Techniques
part (if electrical, include
To avoid electric-shock hazard, disconnect the
instrument from the power source before soldering.
The reliability and accuracy of this instrument can be
maintained only if proper soldering techniques are used
when repairing or replacing parts. General soldering
techniques which apply to maintenance of any precision
electronic equipment should be used when working on
this instrument. Use only 60/40 rosin-core, electronic
grade solder. The choice of soldering iron is determined
by the repair to be made.
Several of the circuit boards in the DC 503A are
multilayer type boards with a conductive path
laminated between the top and bottom board layers,
All soldering on these boards should be done with
extreme care to prevent breaking the connections to
this
c o n d u c t i v e p a t h .
Only
experienced
maintenance personnel should attempt to repair the
Main and Auxiliary boards. Do not allow solder or
solder flux to flow under printed circuit board
switches. The printed circuit board is part of the
switch contacts, intermittent switch operation can
occur if the contacts are contaminated.
When soldering on circuit boards or small wiring, use
only a 15 W, pencil type soldering iron. A higher wattage
soldering iron can cause the etched circuit wiring to
separate from the board base material and melt the
insulation from small wiring. Always keep the soldering
iron tip properly tinned to ensure the best head transfer to
the solder joint. Apply only enough heat to remove the
component or to make a good solder joint. To protect heat
sensitive components, hold the component lead with a
pair of long-nose pliers between the component body and
the solder joint. Use a solder removing wick to remove
excess solder from connections or to clean circuit board
pads.
