Expansion interface cleaning
Under normal operation, the expansion interface should not require cleaning. If the
expansion interface does require cleaning, follow these instructions.
CAUTION
The expansion interface is not waterproof.
Do not let fluids enter the electronics through the expansion
interface.
Do not spray fluid into the expansion interface.
Cleaning the expansion interface in a manner other than that
specified below may cause the unit to malfunction and void the
warranty.
1. Use a cellular urethane cleaning swab lightly moistened with one of the
following solutions recommended in the APIC Guidelines for Selection and Use
of Disinfectants (1996):
Sodium hypochlorite (5.2% household bleach) minimum 1:500 dilution
(minimum 100 ppm free chlorine) and maximum 1:10 dilution.
Any sodium hypochlorite wipe product that meets the above guidelines.
NOTE
Wring excess disinfectant from cloth before using.
Contact of disinfectant solutions with metal parts may cause corrosion.
Do not damage or bend connector pins when cleaning or drying.
2. Insert the swab under the expansion interface to clean.
484A
NOTE
Avoid inserting the swab toward the rear of the expansion interface where
connector pins can be damaged.
3. Do not let fluid “pool” around connection pins. If this happens, blot dry with a
cotton swab or soft cloth. Shake out excess liquids from connector recesses.
