Maintenance
The information in this section will help you maintain your probe for a long
service life.
CAUTION. To prevent damage to probe materials, avoid using chemicals that
contain benzene, benzine, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar solvents.
To avoid degrading the probe’s performance, do not lubricate the polished
mating surfaces of the transformer.
To clean the probe body, use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild
detergent and water. To clean the core, open the jaw and clean the exposed core
surfaces with a cotton swab dampened with isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol) or
ethyl alcohol (fotocol or ethanol).
Do not lubricate the mating surfaces of the jaws. Any lubricant between the core
pieces should be removed with a recommended solvent.
Do not use chemicals containing benzine, benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or
similar solvents.
Do not use a petroleum based lubricant on the plastic. If the plastic slide
assembly requires lubrication, use a silicone-based grease sparingly.
Do not immerse the probe in liquids or use abrasive cleaners.
When cleaning the probe, look for any excessive wear of the slide parts that
might cause the probe to operate improperly. Dirty or worn mating surfaces
between the transformer and the lid can degrade low-frequency response. Clean
these surfaces if necessary.
Use the following procedure to disassemble the probe for cleaning or repair. You
will need a #1 Posidriv screwdriver. Work over a smooth, clean surface so that
you can easily find any small pieces that may drop. Refer to Figure 9.
CAUTION. To avoid degrading the performance of the probe, do not touch the
polished mating surfaces of the transformer after cleaning.
