SECTION P
Periodic Maintenance
1. Blow the dust out of the instrument and off of the optics. If no compressed air source is available
use a camel hair brush (DO NOT USE BRUSH ON GRATING!) (Cleaning of optics only
recommended to be done by qualified Optical Technicians. If removed from the 500 it may need
realignment).
2. Clean the filter carriage rods by gently pushing down the filter position arm and slide out the filter
carriage. Clean the rods with alcohol or acetone on a damp cloth. 600 or > grit sandpaper can be
used for polishing the stainless steel rods if they rust or still stick. In some environments this may
have to be done every 2 to 3 months.
3. Run a .05mm polystyrene film to check the wavenumber accuracy and general resolution.
