Cleaning of Headset Stations and Wireless Gateways 

Such as with headsets, exposure of system components to salt fog, water and wind-driven 
particles will work to war away or corrode any type of marine-grade materials, including 
stainless steel or aluminum.  
 
With simple, periodic cleaning and appropriate care of surfaces, controls and exposed 
connectors, the corrosive effects of such exposure will be effectively mitigated and continual, 
reliable system performance will be ensured. 
 

Headset Connector 

Depending on the angle of installation and how often headsets are connected and disconnected 
from the headset station, an open headset connector could be subject to pooling of water if not 
consistently protected with a properly secured dust cap. 

Should a dust cap be missing or 

recently broken off of its tether, contact your David Clark reseller to discuss replacing this cap 
immediately (see Figure 11) 
 

Even properly protected, the connector will be subject to water exposure eventually, putting the 
individual conductors at risk of tarnish or premature corrosion. A common and effective step to 
mitigate the effects of water exposure is a periodic thin application of 

dielectric grease

 to the 

contacts. 

 

First, visually inspect both mating connectors for any dirt, dust or built up residue, blow away 
said residue with compressed air and/or clean with a swab suitable for the purpose, then apply 
(or reapply) a fresh, clean, thin coating of dielectric grease to the contacts.  
 
Next, the exterior of the connector should be wiped down with a clean cloth. Connector exteriors 
can be further protected from corrosion by applying a suitable corrosion inhibitor such as 
Corrosion-X, Boeshield T-9 or a similar product. This can be carefully applied thus by spraying 
onto a swab suitable for the purpose, which can then coat the exterior steel surface of the 
connector without over-

spraying or pooling in the connector’s interior. Always re-secure the dust 

cap after application.
