Cleaning the RangeFinder Windows
WARNING: Shut down the camera system before performing this
maintenance task. Do not stare into the RangeFinder’s laser exit windows.
Avoid direct eye exposure. The laser light level does not constitute a health
hazard, however staring at the laser light for prolonged periods could result
in eye damage.
CAUTION: Use care when cleaning the RangeFinder to assure the
windows are not scratched or damaged in any way. Never apply cleaning
solution directly to the windows. Always apply the solution to a cloth, and
then the cloth to the windows.
This procedure is recommended only if it is noticed that the environment is
dirty enough that deposits are appearing on the RangeFinder windows. The
cleaning procedure should be performed without removing the RangeFinder
from the mounting structure.
1. Switch off the conveyor.
2. Switch off the camera system.
3. Review the exterior cleaning procedure before cleaning the three
windows.
4. Check the windows for any dust, dirt, or smudges. If the window needs
to be cleaned, proceed to Step 5.
5. Use a dry, soft, lint-free cloth to remove accumulated dust.
6. If the windows are particularly dirty or smudged, make a solution of
seven parts denatured alcohol and three parts water. (Many over-the-
counter solutions will leave deposits/smudges that can affect
performance.)
7. Apply the cleaning solution to a cotton swab or lint-free cloth.
8. Apply the cleaning solution to the windows.
9. Remove any streaks or remaining moisture with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth
or lens paper.
10. Verify RangeFinder operation. Follow the Operations Checklist
procedure in Chapter 6.
