Cleaning Procedure – Interior. To clean the waveform monitor interior, perform
the fol
lowing steps:
1. Blow off dust with dry, low-pressure, deionized air (approximately 9 psi).
2. Remove any remaining dust with a lint-free cloth dampened in isopropyl
alcohol (75% solution) and rinse with warm deionized water. (A cotton-tipped
appl
icator 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
rema
ining steps.
3. If steps 1 and 2 do not remove all the dust or dirt, the waveform monitor
may
be spray washed using a solution of 75% isopropyl alcohol by doing
steps 4 through 6 .
4. Ga
in access to the parts to be cleaned by removing easily accessible shields
and panels.
5

S
pray 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.
Lubrication. There is no periodic lubrication required for the waveform monitor.
