Maintenance
This probe is a high quality, precision instrument. To maintain accuracy and signal fidelity,
mechanical shock should be avoided, as well as damage to the cable through excessive bending.
To achieve the small 2.5 mm tip size, the input tip diameter is narrower than those in larger probes.
Avoid placing excessive force sideways on the tip. Should the tip become damaged, it may be
replaced. Other maintenance and component replacement should be referred to qualified
personnel.
Cleaning
The outside of the probe should cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with either deionized /
distilled water or isopropyl alcohol. Allow the surface to dry completely before returning the probe
to service. Never immerse the probe in any liquid.
Calibration Interval
To guarantee accurate performance, you should have the probe calibrated every 12 months. Avoid
exposing the probe to extreme mechanical shock and excessive bending of the cable because these
may alter the calibration.
Service Strategy
The AP034 circuits utilize fine pitch surface mount devices; it is, therefore, impractical to attempt
component-level repair in the field. Defective probes must be returned to a Teledyne LeCroy
