P6434 Probe Instructions 23

CAUTION. To prevent damage to the elastomer, use tweezers and handle the

elastomer connectors on the flat areas adjacent to the gold plated contact pads.

The elastomer connectors are very small and are susceptible to contamination by

natural skin oils and mishandling.

3. Using tweezers on the flat areas adjacent to the gold plated contact pads,

remove the elastomer connectors. See Figure 19 on page 26.

4. If you are installing either the pin 1 or pin 38 cable kit, follow the Latch

Release Grip and Module End disassembly procedures on pages 23 and 24.

5. If you are only installing the connector parts replacement kit, follow the

Probe Tip procedure on page 25.

To disassemble the latch release grip, follow these steps:

1. Use two small, flat-bladed screwdrivers in the slots opposite the tabs on each

side of the grip as shown in Figure 16.

2. With thumbs placed lightly on the tabs to be released, pry the grip open by

carefully levering the screwdrivers down. Do not overstress the tabs beyond

deflection required to release the tabs.

When you open the latch release grip, the latch release cord comes out of the

grip, thereby detaching the grip from the latch release on the probe.
