For best results, clean the probe thoroughly between tests.
1. Remove the probe shield.
2. Wipe the outside of the probe shaft with a soft cotton cloth or paper towel.
3. Use the cloth to wipe the exposed inner and outer probe shield surfaces.
4. Always fit a probe shield to the unit after cleaning to prevent accidental
damage to the inner probe.
Do not use cloths made from artificial fibers such as nylon as this increases
the risk of electrostatic discharge to the unit.
When cleaning the inner part of the probe, hold the unit using the stainless-
steel collar at the top of the probe to reduce the chance of any electrostatic
discharge damage to your MudChecker.
Care should be taken when screwing or unscrewing the outer probe shield of
the probe to prevent cross threading. If the shield does become cross thread
-
ed, please contact OFITE for service.
If the shield is difficult to remove from the probe extra torque can be obtained
by putting an Allen key through the two holes at the bottom end of the shield
and applying force gently.
Do not over tighten the probe shield.
