Cleaning EUI Connectors

Cleaning EUI Connectors

Regular cleaning of EUI connectors will help maintain optimum
performance. There is no need to disassemble the unit.

To clean EUI connectors:
1.
Remove the EUI from the instrument to expose the connector

baseplate and ferrule.

2. Moisten a 2.5 mm cleaning tip with one drop of isopropyl alcohol

(alcohol may leave traces if used abundantly).

3. Slowly insert the cleaning tip into the EUI adapter until it comes out on

the other side (a slow clockwise rotating movement may help).

4. Gently turn the cleaning tip one full turn, then continue to turn as you

withdraw it.

If any damage occurs to internal connectors, the module casing will
have to be opened and a new calibration will be required.
