Cleaning The Probe Opening (Anvils) - DeFelsko PosiTector RTR 3D Mode D'emploi

Cleaning the probe opening (anvils)

The probe contains two measuring surfaces (anvils) and a camera
lens that can become contaminated with dust particles and residual
tape adhesive. It is therefore recommended to clean the probe
regularly with the included cleaning card and microfiber cloth. Cleaning
is essential prior to performing a probe zero (pg. 12) or a verification
of accuracy (pg. 10). It is best performed when the Gage is powered
down.
With the Gage powered-down, swipe the card through the opening a
few times while pressing both probe buttons. Then insert the included
microfiber cloth and gently wipe the surfaces of the anvils several
times by sliding the cloth back and forth with the probe buttons
pressed.
The cleaning card can also be used to clean the surfaces of analog
spring micrometers. Replacement cards and microfiber cloths are
available.
NOTE:
Cleaning the anvils is especially important when using the
PosiTector RTR-3D to measure 2D and 3D parameters or generating
SDF files.
