Under severe operating conditions, the antenna may require periodic cleaning. If cleaning
becomes necessary:
• Note the antenna material and the process medium, and select a cleaning solution that
will not react adversely with either.
• Remove the device from service and wipe the antenna clean using a cloth and suitable
cleaning solution.
Penetration of moisture into the device
Damage to device.
• Make sure when carrying out cleaning and maintenance work that no moisture
penetrates the inside of the device.

cleaning plastic surfaces with a dry cloth.
