P6015A Instruction Manual
2–11
Maintenance
The P6015A ordinarily requires very little maintenance except for
occasional cleaning. This section provides procedures for preventive
maintenance, corrective maintenance, and removal and replacement
of parts.
Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance for the P6015A consists of cleaning and
visual inspection.
CAUTION. Do not attempt to remove the rubber cushioning ring from
the front of the probe. The ring is bonded to the probe body, and
removal of the ring may cause poor probe response or probe damage.
Cleaning
Accumulation of dirt on the probe body can provide a conduction
path that will result in electrical failure. The following procedures
describe how to clean the probe.
Probe Body. The part of the probe that is most vulnerable to arcing is
the space between the probe tip and the shield sleeve as shown in
Figure 2–4 on page 2–14. Inspect this area for dirt accumulation.
When necessary, clean the area with a damp cloth or small brush.
CAUTION. Use a mild detergent and damp cloth to clean the probe
body. Avoid using chemical cleaning agents that might damage the
materials used for the probe body, cable, and compensation box.
Before using any other type of cleaner, consult your Tektronix service
center or representative.
