Preventive Maintenance Procedures
The ESG Family Signal Generators require no regular maintenance. This section contains
cleaning procedures for the signal generator.
Cleaning the Cabinet
Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the instrument. Do not use any cleaning products.
WARNING
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the signal generator from
mains before cleaning. Use a dry cloth or one slightly dampened with
water to clean the external case parts. Do not attempt to clean
internally.
Cleaning the Display
Use a soft cloth to clean the window in front of the display assembly. Isopropyl alcohol can
also be used on the window for dirt that is difficult to remove. Do not use these products on
the display assembly. Refer to the service guide, if the display assembly requires cleaning.
Returning a Signal Generator for Service
If you are returning your signal generator to Agilent Technologies for servicing, fill out and
attach a blue repair tag to the instrument. Repair tags are located at the end of this
chapter.
Include as much information as possible about the problem: record any error messages
that appeared on the display, and include performance test results or any other specific
data on the performance of the signal generator.
Ship the instrument in the original factory packaging materials, if they are available. If
not, use similar packaging to properly protect the instrument.
Return the instrument to the nearest Agilent Technologies sales and service office. A list of
sales and service offices follows on the next page.
