6.2 Soaking the Sensor and Shield
While wearing protective gloves, complete the following steps:
1. Place the sensor in the first container of hexane or toluene and
allow it to soak for 10 minutes.
2. Remove the sensor from the hexane or toluene and soak it in the
container of distilled water for 10 minutes.
3. Remove the sensor from the distilled water and soak it in the second
(clean) container of hexane or toluene for 10 minutes.
4. Remove the sensor from the hexane or toluene and set it aside until
the shield has completed its cleaning cycle.
5. Clean the shield by repeating steps 1 to 3 above. To ensure the
removal of any contaminants that may have become embedded in
the porous walls of the shield, swirl the shield in the solvents during
the soaking procedures.
6. Remove the shield from the hexane or toluene.
7. Carefully replace the shield over the exposed sensor, without
touching the sensor
.
8. Place the sensor with the installed shield in an oven set at
50°C ± 2°C (122°F ± 3.6°F) for 24 hours.
CAUTION! Do not place the transmitter module into the
solvents. You should only insert the sensor portion of the
transmitter into the solvents. Also, do not allow the sensor to
come into contact with the surfaces of the cleaning containers or
any other hard surface.
