Isotropic Electric Field Probe

HI-4422/FP2000/FP4000/FP5000

Revision G- Part # H-600054

To clean the shields, use the following procedure:

Step 1. Remove the four nylon screws from the faceplate of the
probe shield.

Step

2. Lift the faceplate straight up and away from the

HI-4422/FP2000/FP4000/FP5000 housing. BE SURE THAT
YOU LIFT THE FACEPLATE HIGH ENOUGH TO CLEAR THE
INTERNAL ANTENNA ASSEMBLY, OR YOU MAY DAMAGE IT.
Place the probe in a protected location while performing the next
step.

NOTE: NEVER touch the antenna assembly. You may
transfer a static charge to the assembly that may distort
or disable the measuring capability in that axis.

Step 3. Clean the shield's exterior surface using a mild soap and
water solution. Rubbing alcohol is also effective, provided care
is taken to keep it away from the axis label. Wait for exterior
surface to dry completely. DO NOT clean the interior surface of
the shield.

Step 4. CAREFULLY replace the faceplate by lowering it straight
down onto the housing: again, be sure to clear the antenna
assembly when doing so.

Step 5. Replace the screws holding the faceplate. Snug them
up only: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS, OR YOU
MAY DAMAGE THE HEADS.

NOTE: If you require additional nylon faceplate screws,
you may order them from ETS-Lindgren or you may
obtain them locally. Non-conductive screws must be
used for this application. NEVER use metal screws.

The probe is now ready to be put back into operation. Repeat
this procedure for the other shields, if necessary.
