Maintenance and Service

Cleaning the O-rings and chip interface prevents pressure leaks
and current leaks. The O-rings should be cleaned daily, with a more
thorough cleaning of the O-rings and chip interface monthly. See
Cleaning the Chip
The electrodes should be cleaned daily. Also clean the electrodes
after running any diagnostic test using Test Chip B. See
the Instrument Electrodes" on page
Test Chip C should be inspected before use and cleaned if
necessary. See
Run the Optics Calibration procedure (using Test Chip C) once a
month, or more often if the company SOP specifies more frequent
calibration or diagnostics. See
