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.
Clean the exterior surfaces
Clean the exterior surfaces with a dry, lint-free cloth or a soft-bristle brush. If dirt
remains, use a cloth or swab dampened with a 75% isopropyl 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.
To avoid damaging the instrument follow these precautions:
Avoid getting moisture inside the instrument during external cleaning and use
only enough solution to dampen the cloth or swab.
Do not wash the front-panel power switch. Cover the switch while washing
the instrument.
Use only deionized water when cleaning. Use a 75% isopropyl alcohol
solution as a cleanser and rinse with deionized water.
Do not use chemical cleaning agents; they may damage the instrument. Avoid
chemicals that contain benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar solvents.
Fuse replacement
The instrument is protected by a fuse placed in series with the power line input.
The fuse is conservatively rated and should never open through the life of the
instrument. A blown fuse would generally indicate a problem with the instrument
which requires factory service. It is recommended that you arrange to have the
instrument serviced if you experience a blown fuse.
Repack the instrument for shipment
If the instrument is to be shipped to a Tektronix service center for repair, attach a
tag showing the following information:
Name of the product owner
Address of the owner
Instrument serial number
A description of the problems encountered and/or service required
When packing an instrument for shipment, use the original packaging. If it is
unavailable or not
fi
t for use, contact your Tektronix representative to obtain
new packaging.
