Clogged Nose Piece or Dirty Diaphragm:
Either of these conditions could result in erroneous readings from your transducer.
WARNING:
NEVER attempt to clean your transducer’s nose piece or diaphragm with any
object. This could dent or scar the sensor diaphragm and cause permanent damage to the
transducer.
Your transducer may be cleaned in accordance with the procedures listed in step 4, below.
Cleaning your transducer:
Materials required:
Plastic bowls 8-12 inches (200-300 mm) in diameter and 4-6 inches (100 - 150 mm) deep
Supply of clean, lint-free cleaning rags
32 ounce bottle of a mild detergent
Preparation:
Prior to cleaning your pressure transducer, ensure that all procedures have been followed
in the proper cleaning of the cable and transducer to remove any hazardous materials.
The vent filter (or bellows) must be properly attached.
The cable should be coiled to ensure ease of handling and it must be protected against
the possibility of accidental abrasion and/or penetration of the cable jacket by sharp
objects.
A lead length of 1 to 1 ½ feet (0.3 - 0.45 m) of cable from the transducer should be
allowed to facilitate handling during cleaning.
The protective covering (or similar protective device) that is shipped with each transducer
should be attached to the transducer at all times. It should only be removed prior to
installation or cleaning.
Your work surface needs to be clean and free of clutter and large enough to accommodate all
materials required in addition to the transducer and cable. Fill one of the bowls with fresh water, one
with a mild detergent mixed with water and the last with 16 ounces (0.45 kg) of a bath/bath tub type
cleaner.
