4.7 Cleaning
Due to its compact design, the device is characterized by almost maintenance-free opera-
tion.
When used for the intended purpose, it is possible that the device may need to be cleaned
from time to time. Very clean optical surfaces (cover glass) are required for the consistent
and reproducible operation of the device.
Housing
Caution!
volatile
solvents
Volatile solvents for cleaning.
Volatile solvents damage the surface of the camera.
Never use volatile solvents (benzine, thinner) for cleaning!
To clean the surface of the camera housing, use a soft, dry cloth. To remove persistent
stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a small quantity of neutral detergent, then wipe dry.
Filter/Coverglasssensor
Notice
The sensor is mounted dust-proof. Remove of the cover glass for cleaning is not neces-
sary.
Avoid cleaning the cover glass of the sensor if possible. To prevent dust, follow the in-
structions under "Install lens".
If you must clean it, use compressed air or a soft, lint free cloth dampened with a small
quantity of pure alcohol.
Tubecoverglass
For cleaning, use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the surface of the tube cover glass with a
gentle pressure, without scratching.
To clean stubborn dirt, commonly available window cleaning agent is recommended.
Caution!
Ensure that no residues of the cleaning agent or scratches remain on the
glass. These can permanently damage the reproducibility of the results from
the device.
Caution!
As so many cleaning agents are available, we hope you understand that we
cannot test every single one. Resistance to cleaning agents and areas of
use depends upon the specic application.
Cleaning agents must be tested on an discreet area of the device under ap-
plication conditions to evaluate if they are suitable.
