6. MAINTENANCE

WARNING

Do not use the FLEX3 AC Current Probe if is or seems damaged.


Make sure the current probe and the output cables are clean before installing them around
the conductors. If the transducers and cables are not clean, the contaminants on them
may provide a conductive path for a high-voltage breakdown. Also, check the transducer
and output cables for cuts and abrasions. The transducer should not be used if damaged.

Preventive maintenance primarily consists of cleaning the transducers and cables to
prevent surface contamination. Use a mild detergent and water to clean the transducers
and cables. Remove the detergent with clean water, then wipe dry with a clean cloth.

WARNING

The use of solvents as cleaners are not recommended unless thoroughly
tested and found harmless to all surface and parts. Do not submerge the
FLEX3 transducers or the electronics package into water or other fluids.
