Maintenance

This section contains simple maintenance procedures and describes the built in self-test facilities. See
Safety Information before doing the procedures in this section.

Inspection and Cleaning

To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
• Do not remove the covers from the Product unless you are qualified to do so.
• Do not operate the Product with covers removed or the case open. Hazardous voltage
exposure is possible.
• Disconnect the mains power cord before you remove the Product covers.
• Remove the input signals before you clean the Product.
• Use only specified replacement parts.
• Have an approved technician repair the Product.
• Beyond removal of the external covers, removing the top cover voids calibration of
the Product.
• Do not use aromatic hydrocarbons or chlorinated solvents for cleaning. They can
damage the plastic materials used in the Product.
• Place the Product securely on an appropriate bench top or work surface before
removing the covers.
• Do not unnecessarily touch any part of the PCAs or straighten component positions
on the PCAs.
• Do not permit water to enter the Product.
Inspect the instrument exterior for signs of damage.

Clean the Exterior

To keep the Product looking new, clean the case, front panel keys, and display with a soft cloth slightly
dampened with either water or a non-abrasive mild cleaning solution that is not harmful to plastics.
Clean any dust from the exterior of the Product using a dry brush or vacuum cleaner.

Clean the Air Inlet

Air is drawn into the Product through the grill on the side and then exhausted through the rear panel. If
the Product is used in dusty environment, it may become necessary to clean the air inlet. This can be
done from the outside with a vacuum cleaner hose.
