AV500/AV900 2D CAMERA
This procedure is recommended only if it is noticed that the environment is dirty
enough that deposits are appearing on the deflection mirrors. The window cleaning
procedure should be performed without removing the camera from the mounting struc
-
ture.
1. Switch off the conveyor.
2. Switch off the camera system.
3. Follow the exterior cleaning procedure before cleaning the window.
4. Check the window surface for any dust, dirt, or smudges. If the window needs to
be cleaned, proceed t
o Step 5.
5. Make a solution of seven parts denatured alcohol and three parts water. (Many
o
ver-the-c
ounter solutions will leave deposits/smudges that can affect perfor-
mance.)
6. Apply the cleaning solution to a lint-free cotton cloth.
7. Apply the cloth with cleaning solution to the camera and illumination window.
8. Remove any streaks or remaining moisture from the window with a dry, soft, lint-
free cloth or lens
paper.
9. Verify camera operation.
Cleaning the Deflection Mirror
This procedure is recommended only if it is noticed that the environment is dirty
enough that HEAVY deposits are appearing on the deflection mirrors. The cleaning pro-
cedure should be performed without removing the mirror from the mounting structure.
1. Switch off the conveyor.
2. Switch off the camera system.
3. Review the exterior cleaning procedure before cleaning the deflection mirror.
4. Check the deflection mirror for any dust, dirt, or sm
udges.
If the deflection mirror
needs to be cleaned, proceed to Step 5.
5. Use a dry, soft, lint-free cloth to remove accumulated dust.
6. If the deflection mirror is particularly d
irty 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.)
Shut down the camera system before performing this maintenance task. Do not stare into th
e
camera’s window at the LED light. Avoid direct eye exposure. The LED light level does not
constitute a health hazard, however staring at the LED light for prolonged periods could
result in eye damage.
Use care when cleaning the deflection mirror to assure that the alignment with the camera is
not altered. Never apply cleaning solution directly to the mirror. Always apply the solution to
a cloth, and then the cloth to the mirror. It is a good habit to pre-mark the mirror position, so
if it does move it can be returned to the original position.
