Reassembling the Probe
Use the following procedures to resassemble the P6434 probe.
NOTE. When reassembling the probe, you must use both the new board holder
and both elastomer connectors included with the service kit. These components
have design improvements that must be replaced as a set.
To reassemble the probe tip, refer to Figure 18 and follow these steps:
1. If you are reusing the Mictor connector circuit board, remove the old board
holder.
2. Install the Mictor connector circuit board into the new board holder.

3. Lay the Mictor board assembly on a flat surface with the pin 1 side of the
connector facing up. See Figure 20 for the correct orientation.
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.
4. Using tweezers on the flat areas on both sides of the gold plated contact pads,
carefully orient the elastomer connector, and place it in the elastomer slot in
the board holder as shown in Figure 19.
