Cleaning Procedure

WA R N I N G	To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the module from mains before cleaning.
	Use a dry cloth or one slightly dampened with water to clean the external case
	parts. Do not attempt to clean internally.
	1 Blow particulate matter from connectors using an environmentally-safe aerosol such as
	Aero-Duster. (This product is recommended by the United States Environmental
	Protection Agency and contains tetrafluoroethane. You can order this aerosol from
	Agilent (see Table 5).)
	2 Use alcohol and a lint-free cloth to wipe connector surfaces. Wet a small swab with a
	small quantity of alcohol and clean the connector with the swab.
	3 Allow the alcohol to evaporate off of the connector before making connections.
	Do not allow excessive alcohol to run into the connector. Excessive alcohol entering
CAUTION
	the connector collects in pockets in the connector’s internal parts. The liquid will
	cause random changes in the connector’s electrical performance. If excessive
	alcohol gets into a connector, lay it aside to allow the alcohol to evaporate. This may
	take up to three days. If you attach that connector to another device it can take
	much longer for trapped alcohol to evaporate.

WARNING	Cleaning connectors with alcohol should only be performed with the

	alcohol. Prior to connector reuse, be sure that all alcohol used has dried, and that
	the area is free of fumes.
