12.3. Light Guide Cleaning
Instructions for cleaning the light emitting end (output) of the light guide
Materials:
• Lens Tissue sheets
• Optical Swabs
• IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) solution
• Wooden stick (eg; tongue depressor/popsicle stick)
Before using Isopropyl Alcohol consult the manufactures MSDS Sheets for proper
handling and storage.
Never look directly into the light emitting end (output) of the light guide. The light
could severely damage the cornea and retina of the eye. Protective eye wear must
be used at all times and always turn the system off before removing the lightguide.
Notes:
1. The staining that appears on the light guide's light-emitting end is the result of gaseous
burn-off from the UV adhesive.
2. Inspect light guide optical input port of R2000 Radiometer for signs of residual gaseous
burn-off powder/dirt, transferred from the light-emitting end of the light guide, clean as
stated below.
3. Never apply a dirty tissue/swab to the end of the light guide or R2000 optical input port.
4. Never use a razor blade or any other metallic apparatus to scrape off adhesive build-up
from the quartz lens on the light-emitting end of the light guide. This may cause
permanent damage (scratches) to the quartz lens.
Procedure:
1. Turn off power to the UV spot curing system and let the light guide cool down for at
least 10 minutes.
2. If required, remove the light guide output end from the production fixture.
3. Remove the light guide from the light guide port of the UV spot curing system.
