Cleaning the P69xx Probe Heads
To maintain a reliable electrical contact, keep the probes free from dirt, dust, and
contaminants. Remove dirt and dust with a soft brush. Avoid brushing or rubbing
the c-spring contacts. For more extensive cleaning, use only a damp cloth. Never
use abrasive cleaners or organic solvents.
CAUTION.
Static discharge can damage semiconductor components in the probe
head. Always wear a grounded antistatic wrist strap whenever handling the
probe head. Also verify that anything to which the probe head is connected does
not carry a static charge.
CAUTION.
To prevent damage during the probe connection process, do not touch
the exposed edge of the interface clip. Do not drag the contacts against a hard
edge or corner.
