Cleaning
Remove accumulated loose dust from the probe exterior with a soft
cloth or small brush. Remaining dirt may be removed with a soft
cloth dampened with a mild detergent and water solution. Do not
immerse the probe or use abrasive cleaners.
With normal use the interior of the probe compensation box does not
require cleaning. If you wish to clean the probe interior while
replacing internal assemblies, use dry low-velocity air (approximate-
ly 9 lbs/in
2
) to blow away accumulated dust. Remove any remaining
dirt with a soft cloth or small brush or a soft cloth dampened with a
nonresidue cleaner, such as isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Use a cotton-
tipped swab to clean the circuit board or in narrow spaces.
CAUTION. To prevent damage to probe materials, avoid using
chemicals that contain benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar
solvents.
Corrective Maintenance
Corrective maintenance consists of replacing defective parts or
assemblies. To determine which parts are replaceable, refer to the
Replaceable Parts section beginning on page 6–1.
To guarantee probe performance, do not attempt to replace the
individual components of replaceable assemblies.
WARNING. To prevent electric shock, disconnect the probe from the
signal source and oscilloscope or power supply before performing
preventive maintenance.
