•Micrometer for measurement of control cable diameter.

Materials required for complete maintenance of Models 692, 693, 664 remote controls:

•Clean solvent: fresh mineral spirits recommended for cleaning and degreasing remote control mechanism, control cable and cleaning the control conduits internally. (Follow manufacturer’s safety precautions for use, handling, storage and disposal.)

•Large pan for cleaning and degreasing the control crank assembly and control cable.

•Clean lint-free rags and detergent to clean the exterior of the control conduits.

•Mil-spec grease, MIL-G-23827B (or C), MIL-PRF-23827C (or equivalent radiation resistant grease) for lubricating the control cable and control crank mechanism.

•Stainless steel, brass or synthetic bristle brush to clean control crank parts and the control cable.

•Compressed air source and hand nozzle to blow dry the control cable internal Teflon™ liner of the remote control conduits after cleaning.

•3M™ yellow polyvinyl tape (or black polyvinyl electrical tape) for repair of cuts in remote control conduits.

•Safety glasses.

Remote Control Maintenance Requirements

1Disconnect the remote control unit from the exposure device.

2Straighten out the remote control housings on a work surface, then remove the control cable from the remote control conduits (661 safety connector side) until it stops (a stop spring on the end of the control cable). Rubber gloves are recommended for this operation. Do not use excessive force during removal of the control cable. During removal of the control cable, it should be coiled in loops no less than a 12 in (305 mm) diameter and secure.

3Disconnect the remote control conduit fitting from the control crank using the 11/16 in open-end wrench. Remove the stop spring from the end of the control cable and pass the control cable through the crank gear to completely disengage. Label the remote control conduits for proper assembly after the servicing.

4Pull the remaining control cable through the 661 safety connector and secure.

5Using the 11/16 in open-end wrench, remove both remote control conduits from the 661 safety connector and the control crank.

6Thoroughly clean the control cable using a brush in a degreaser bath. Use compressed air to blow off residual solvent after the degreasing operation. Be sure to follow the solvent manufacturer's safety recommendations.
