§ 11

How to Clean a Probe


Dust or particles attached to the velocity sensor would alter the
amount of heat diffusion, which leads to a less precise reading. Also,
deformation or clogging of the protective mesh around the sensor of
the probe would also affect the accuracy of the instrument.
Users are encouraged to clean the probe regularly to maintain the
accuracy of measurements.

Clean the sensor by soaking it in water in an ultrasonic cleaner for 10
to 20 seconds. Do not soak it for too long, since there is an
increased risk of damaging the coating.
Please use only water for cleaning the probe.

!CAUTION!

!) When cleaning, make sure that the power is turned OFF.
!) Make sure that the sensor is dry before turning it ON.
!) DO NOT let the humidity sensor come into contact with water

(MODEL6531/6533). When wet, let it air dry by placing it in an
environment with less than 40%RH for more than 24 hours.

!) NEVER USE alcohol or any other organic fluid.

Alcohol will cause permanent damage to the humidity sensor.

Once the sensor is damaged, it will need to be replaced even if it
seems to be functioning.

Procedure

DO NOT place the sensor in an
upward position until it is
completely dry as residual water
could damage the sensor.
