4.4 Interface Connector Cleaning
WARNING
Always turn the 35360A TRACKER Display's power off prior to cleaning the interface connectors. Failure to do so may result in an electrical shock.
The presence of dust or lint at the interface connectors can produce leakage currents which may have a detrimental affect upon the accuracy of radiation measurements.
The ends of the interface cable typically pick up dust and lint as the cable touches the floor during packing and unpacking. Dirt may later be transferred to the interface connectors located on the 35300A Detector or on the 35360A TRACKER Display during mating with the interface cable.
In some cases, the offending foreign matter may be removed by gently blowing across the connector with dry air. Air containing moisture or other contaminants should be avoided. A suitable source of dry air is available where camera accessories are sold. They are intended for use in cleaning fine and delicate camera equipment.
If this cleaning method fails to produce satisfactory results, then service by Fluke Biomedical will be required.
A procedure for troubleshooting excessive leakage is given earlier in this section.
