Do NOT use high pressure or you may damage softer surfaces.
Always dry the system before placing it in the storage case to avoid fungus or mold growth.
After cleaning the instrument, check it carefully for signs of damage. Check the bulkhead con-
nector for looseness or other signs of damage. Check the pins of the bulkhead connector. They
should be kept clean at all times. Clean the connector pins and sockets with an alcohol wipe,
and when reconnecting, lubricate the rubber portion of the pins with an O-ring quality silicone
based lubricant.
Oil Fill Procedure and Capillary Tube Installation
The pressure sensor used in your instrument is exposed to ambient pressure through a pressure
port and an oil-filled capillary. The oil provides the required pressure coupling and is an electri-
cal insulator that prevents corrosion due to the dissimilar material compositions of the trans-
ducer and instrument housing.
Included with your instrument is a capillary tube installation kit. The following procedure will
provide guidance to allow you to install the capillary onto the instrument.
Should you require further assistance please do not hesitate to contact Teledyne RD Instru-
ments and ask to speak to a customer service representative.
