Flat panel display cleaning
Clean the flat panel display surface by gently rubbing the display with a clean-room wipe (such as W
ypall Medium Duty Wipes, #05701,
available from Kimberly-Clark Corporation), or an abrasive-free cleaning cloth.
If the display is very dirty, moisten the wipeor cloth with distilled water, a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution, or standard glass cleaner, and
gently rub the display surface. Use only enough liquid to dampen the cloth or wipe. Avoid using excess force or you may damage the
display surface.
CAUTION: Improper cleaning agents or methods can damage the flat panel display
.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or surface cleaners to clean the display.
• Do not spray liquids directly on the display surface.
• Do not scrub the display with excessive force.
CAUTION: T
o prevent getting moisture inside the instrument during external cleaning, do not spray any cleaning solutions directly
onto the screen or instrument.
Interior cleaning
Y
ou can only clean the interior of the rear chassis assembly. To access the rear chassis assembly, see the Removal and Installation
Procedures topics.
Do not disassemble or clean the front chassis assembly (other than cleaning the front panel display and removing panel knobs).
Disassembling the front chassis assembly requires that the instrument be returned to your nearest Tektronix Service Center for calibration.
Warning: T
o avoid electric shock or damage to the instrument, remove instrument power. Before performing any procedure that
follows, power down the instrument and disconnect it from line voltage.
• Blow off dust with dry, low-pressure (approximately 9 psi), deionized air.
•
Use a soft-bristle, non-static-producing brush for cleaning around components.
• Remove any remaining dust with a lint-free cloth dampened in isopropyl alcohol (75% solution). (A cotton-tipped applicator is useful for
cleaning in narrow spaces and on circuit boards).
• If you must use a liquid for minor rear chassis interior cleaning, use a clean-room wipe (such as Wypall Medium Duty Wipes, #05701,
available from Kimberly-Clark Corporation) dampened with a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution.
• Inspect the internal portions of the instrument for damage and wear. See Table 2 on page 17. Defects should be repaired immediately.
• If any circuit board is repaired or replaced, you must perform the Performance Verification procedure in the specifications and
performance verification manual, which was provided with your instrument. This manual is also available at www.tektronix.com/
manuals, by searching for your product name. If the instrument fails the Performance Verification tests, it must be returned to a
Tektronix Service Center for repair and calibration.
