Do service of static-sensitive modules only at a static-free work station. 4. Do not remove the DG2020A cabinet unless you have met precaution number 3, above. Consider all internal modules static-sensitive. 5. Do not allow anything capable of generating or holding a static charge on the work station surface.
DG2020A operates. General Care The cabinet helps keep dust out of the DG2020A and is a major component of the instrument cooling system. The cabinet should normally be in place when operating the DG2020A. The DG2020A front cover (optional accessory) protects the front panel and display from dust and damage.
Inspection — Exterior. Inspect the outside of the DG2020A for damage, wear, and missing parts, using Table 6-2 as a guide. If the DG2020A appears to have been dropped or otherwise abused, check it thoroughly to verify correct operation and performance.
3. If steps 1 and 2 do not remove all the dust or dirt, the DG2020A may be spray washed using a solution of 75% isopropyl alcohol by doing step 4 through 8.
Page 103
7. Dry all parts with low-pressure, deionized air. 8. Dry all components and assemblies in an oven or drying compartment using low-temperature (51.7_ C to 65.6_ C/125_ F to 150_ F) circulating air. Lubrication. There is no periodic lubrication required for the DG2020A. DG2020A Service Manual...
