Interior cleaning
Use a dry, low-v
elocity stream of air to clean the interior of the chassis. Use a
soft-bristle, non-static-producing brush for cleaning around components. If you
must use a liquid for minor interior cleaning, use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution
and rinse with deionized water.
To clean the instrument interior, perform the following steps:
1. Blow off dust with dry, low-pressure, deionized air (approximately 9 psi).
2. Remove any r
emaining dust with a lint-free cloth dampened in isopropyl
alcohol (75% solution) and rinse with warm deionized water. (A cotton-tipped
applicator is useful for cleaning in narrow spaces and on circuit boards.)
STOP. If, after doing steps 1 and 2 , a module is clean upon inspection, skip
the remaining steps.
3. If steps 1 and 2 do not remove all the dust or dirt, the instrument may be spray
washed using a solution of 75% isopropyl a lcohol by doing steps 4 through 6.
4. Gain access to the parts to be cleaned by removing easily accessible shields
and panels.
5. Spray wash dirty parts with the isopropyl alcohol and wait 60 seconds for the
majority of the alcohol to evaporate.
6. Dry all parts with low-pressure, deionized air.
