6.1Cleaning

The switch can be cleaned by soaking, spraying solvents or detergent-and-water onto the sensor tubes, or by ultrasonic cleaning.

Lime deposits can be safely removed by soaking in 20% hydrochloric acid. Warming to 150°F is permissible to speed this process. The acid must be thoroughly rinsed off once cleaned.

For unusual cleaning problems, call SIERRA INSTRUMENTS and determine the exact materials of construction and chemical compatibility before using strong acids or unusual cleansers.

**IMPORTANT**

DO NOT SANDBLAST OR ABRASIVE CLEAN THE SENSING

PROBES. THE SENSING PROBES COULD BE DAMAGED BY

ABRASIVES.
