Cleaning Connectors
Basic Cleaning Procedure
1. Inspect the connectors for dust, dirt, metal fragment, oils or film, and debris.
2. Blow off any dust with a filtered, clean supply of compressed air.
3. Add a few drops of high-purity isopropyl alcohol to a small cleaning swab (do not
apply alcohol directly to the parts).
4. When using isopropyl alcohol to clean connectors do not allow the
liquid to flow down inside the connector. This may cause
measurement errors due to residue inside the connector. If possible
keep the connector facing down.
5. Gently wipe connecting surfaces with the end of the cleaning swab.
6. Blow dry with compressed air.
7. Inspect and repeat cleaning procedure if necessary.
