Tip Aligning the cantilever clip on the body
The cantilever holder body and the clip assembly
have a step that engage to help align the clip
straight.
• The step in the plastic of the clip assembly
can be crushed if you tighten the retaining
screw with the clip improperly aligned.
• If the step becomes damaged residual
plastic may be pushed over the pogo pin
area and prevent the clip from touching the
pins.
• Take time to familiarize yourself with the
parts.
• Take your time when reassembling the
holder
7.3. Older Models
There has been one significant redesign to both the standard and iDrive droplet holder. The design
addressed:
• the complexity of disassembling and reassembling the holders after cleaning,
• Improvements in sealing the window from fluid leaks,
• ease of use of the evaporation shield.
If you have one of these versions of the droplet holders, please refer to this section for cleaning and
maintenance.
Note
These revision holders are no longer made. There is an ongoing campaign to
replace all of these holders free of charge. If you have already received a
replacement droplet holder and you you experience a failure of this design, we
cannot support it. If you have not yet received a replacement droplet holder, and
are experiencing a failure please contact Asylum Research.
7.3.1. Cleaning and Repair
In daily use, the iDrive cantilever holder can be cleaned by rinsing the exposed surfaces of the glass
window and cantilever clips with clean de-ionized water. Following the rinse, the holder can be dried
