Cleaning Instructions

Periodic examination of the SelectiveRIDER® Pallet, Fluxometer™ Test Mesh, Dynamic X/Y Sensor and pallet contacts (P.O. and Height sensor) should be free of any solder splash or balling and other contamination.

 

Pallet:

Caution

The M.O.L.E. Profiler must be removed before the SelectiveRIDER® is cleaned because it may be damaged or destroyed by water or solvents.

1)Turn the locking latch and the raise barrier box cover until it comes to a rest. Pull the extractor handle to remove the M.O.L.E. Profiler.

2)Clean the external surfaces with IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) using a soft cloth.
3)Using a fine plastic brush (like a tooth brush) or fine point non-metallic pick, clean any dust, dirt, or solder from the PO (Process Origin), Height sensor contacts and Dynamic X/Y Sensor contacts which are all located on the bottom of the SelectiveRIDER® pallet. When cleaning the sensors, use enough force to get them cleared and free from debris but not too much that they may bend or damage sensor wires.
