TLA7000 Series Mainframe Technical Reference Manual
Inspection and Cleaning
The instrument is inspected mechanically and electrically before shipment. It
should be free of marks or scratches and should meet or exceed all electrical
specifications. To confirm this, inspect for physical damage incurred during
transit. Retain the packaging in case shipment for repair is necessary. If there is
damage or deficiency, contact your local Tektronix representative.
Cleaning procedures consist of exterior and interior cleaning. Periodic cleaning
reduces instrument breakdown and increases reliability. Clean the instrument as
needed, based on your operating environment.
Inspect the outside of the instrument for damage, wear, and missing parts. Use
Table 1 as a guide. Modules that appear to have been dropped or otherwise
abused should be checked thoroughly to verify correct operation and perfor-
mance. Immediately repair defects that could cause personal injury or lead to
further damage to the benchtop controller, expansion module, or the mainframes
that the module plug into.
