Maintenance and Storage
EXO field cables are rugged and provide years of reliable service when properly maintained. As with all field
cables, they are most vulnerable at their connectors. Take extra caution to protect the connectors from debris
and physical harm.
1 Inspect and clean cables.
Inspect the cable's connectors for contamination and
remove any detected debris with a blast of compressed
air. Users should also apply a thin coat of Krytox grease to
the male pins of the connectors when they appear dried
out. However, it is better to apply too little grease than too
much. Too much grease can encourage contamination.
Periodically inspect the cable for nicks and tears to ensure
best performance.
2 Cable storage.
Users should leave the cable installed on the sonde to
protect the connectors. If necessary users may remove it
from the sonde, but extra care should be taken to protect
the connectors. Store the cable in a safe location free from
direct sunlight. If the cable is vented, ensure the storage cap
is affixed to the desiccant inlet.
