SPG600 & SPG300 Sync Pulse Generators User Manual E-1
Appendix E: User Maintenance
This appendix contains procedures for cleaning and performing preventive
maintenance on the sync pulse generator.
Cleaning
General Care
Protect the instrument from adverse weather conditions. The instrument is not
waterproof.
Cleaning the Exterior
Remove the power cord before cleaning the instrument. Clean the exterior surfaces
of the instrument with a dry, lint-free cloth or a soft-bristle brush. If dirt remains,
use a cloth or swab dampened with a 75% ethyl alcohol solution. A swab is useful
for cleaning in narrow spaces around the controls and connectors. Do not use
abrasive compounds on any part of the instrument.
Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance mainly consists of periodic cleaning. Periodic cleaning
reduces instrument breakdown and increases reliability. Clean the instrument as
needed, based on the operating environment. Dirty conditions may require more
frequent cleaning than computer-room conditions.
CAUTION. To avoid damage to the instrument, do not expose it to sprays, liquids,
or solvents.
Do not use chemical cleaning agents; they may damage the instrument. Avoid
chemicals that contain acetone, benzene, toluene, xylene, or similar solvents,
because they may damage the plastic.
WARNING. To avoid personal injury, remove the power cord before cleaning the
instrument.
CAUTION. Do not allow moisture inside the instrument. During exterior cleaning,
use only enough solution to dampen the cloth or swab.
