Cleaning Procedure
Interior
If, after doing steps 1 and 2, a module is clean upon inspection, skip
the remaining steps.
1. Blow off dust with dry, lowpressure, deionized air (approximately 9 psi).
2. Remove any remaining dust with a lint free cloth dampened in isopropyl
alcohol (75% solution) and rinse with warm deionized water. (A cotton
tipped applicator is useful for cleaning in narrow spaces and on circuit
boards.)
NOTE
If steps 1 and 2 do not remove all the dust or dirt, the oscilloscope
may be spray washed using a solution of 75% isopropyl alcohol by
doing steps 3 through 7.
3. Gain access to the parts to be cleaned by removing easily accessible
shields and panels (see Removal and Replacement Procedures).
