9.1.1 Outer surfaces and operating elements
Wipe the equipment with a mild soap solution (washing
agent) and a soft cloth.
9.1.2 Reflector
To ensure uniform illumination of the test chamber, the
reflector has to be kept clean.
CAUTION - Damage to the reflector:
The reflecting coating of the test chamber walls is
sensitive to scratches.
Do not use any solvents, or any rough or hard clean-
ing agents for cleaning the reflector.
Procedure:
Wipe the reflector with a soft cloth that has been moi-
stened with the usual commercially available washing
agents and rub dry till it is free from streaks.
9.1.3 Radiation system
The components of the radiation system must be clea-
ned at least every half-year. The radiation unit must be
dismantled in the opposite sequence to that described in
chapter 6.2, “Assemble the radiation system”.
Optical filters:
• Clean the optical filters with a soft leather cloth or brush
before installing them.
• Carefully wipe the optional filter “UV-special glass” with
a starchless cloth that has been moistened with 20%
citric acid solution.

free cloth that is moistened with a little spirit.
Reflecting mirror:
• Clean the reflecting mirrors, before mounting, with a
soft leather cloth or a brush.
9.1.4 Air Filter
CAUTION - Damage to the equipment:
The reflector and the radiation system are dust-sen-
sitive. Unfiltered cooling air will adversely affect the
functioning of the equipment.
The air filters must be cleaned half-yearly.
The air filters must always be installed during opera-
tion.
Procedure:
• Remove the filter mat from the filter opening on the
rear side of the equipment.
• Beat the dirty filter mat or wash it with lukewarm wa-
ter and some mild soap solution (washing liquid).
If the filter mat is particularly dirty, replace it (for cata-
log no., see chapter 9.2, “Spare parts”).
• Let the filter mat dry and insert it in the filter opening
again with the soft layer on the outside.
