8. Cleaning Probe
If the sensor is contaminated with impurities such as dust, particles, soot or machine oil, the heat dissipation rate will
change causing inaccurate readings. In most cases, as heat dissipation decreases, the air velocity readings will also
decrease.
The same thing can be said for probes which are equipped with a mesh cover. The same problem will occur if the
mesh is deformed or clogged with impurities.
If impurities are attached to the sensor or mesh from using the instrument in an unclean environment, it is
recommended that the sensor is cleaned right after use.
Clean the sensor of the probe in an ultrasonic cleaner for approx. 10-20 sec.
Do not clean the sensor longer than required as excess cleaning may cause damage to the sensor
coating. Use water for cleaning. The sensor can also be cleaned in a vessel filled with cleaning
agent and gently shake it.
When the sensor of the probe is contaminated with oil, rinse the head of it with alcohol and dry it.
! CAUTION !
!) Make sure to turn the power OFF before cleaning.
!) Dry the probe completely after cleaning. Do not turn ON the power before the probe is
completely dried.
