Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Maintenance

Cleaning the Radiation Shield

The outer surface of the radiation shield should be cleaned when there is excessive dirt and

build-up on the plates. Use a damp cloth to clean the outer edge of each ring.

Note: Spraying down or using water excessively to clean the radiation shield can damage the sensitive sensors

or alter the data the ISS is transmitting.

Check the radiation shield for debris or insect nests at

least once a year and clean when necessary. A buildup

of material inside the shield reduces its effectiveness

and may cause inaccurate temperature and humidity

readings.

1. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, loosen the two

#6 x 2

” screws holding the five radiation shield

plates together, as shown.

2. Taking care to maintain the order in which the five

plates are assembled, separate the plates as shown

and remove all debris from inside the shield.

3. Reassemble the plates in the same order in which

they were disassembled, and fasten them together

using a Phillips head screwdriver to tighten the #6

x 2

” screws, as shown.

Cleaning the Rain Collector, Debris

Screen, and Tipping Spoon Module

To maintain accuracy, thoroughly clean the rain collector cone and debris screen as needed or

at least once a year.

Note: Cleaning the rain collector and tipping spoon may cause false rain readings. See “Clearing Data Col-

lected During Testing and Installation” on page 10.

1. Use a damp, soft cloth to remove any debris from the rain collector and debris screen.

2. Use pipe cleaners to clear any debris remaining in the screen.

3. When all parts are clean, rinse with clear water.

To clean the tipping spoon assembly, it must first be removed from the ISS base.
