designed for the harsh outdoor environment and have a coating for durability and
anti-reflection, but may require cleaning occasionally. FLIR Systems Inc.
suggests that you clean the lens when image quality degradation is noticed or
excessive contaminant build-up is seen on the lens.
Rinse the camera housing and optics with low pressure fresh water to remove
any salt deposits and to keep it clean. If the front window of the camera gets
water spots, wipe it with a clean soft cotton cloth dampened with fresh water. If
the window requires further cleaning, use a soft moist cotton-based cloth with
isopropyl alcohol or dish soap.
Do not use abrasive materials, such as paper or scrub brushes as this will
possibly damage the lens by scratching it. Only wipe the lens clean when you
can visually see contamination on the surface.
Cleaning the Camera Body
Do not pressure wash the camera, especially around the FLIR logos, as that
could force water through the camera seals. Clean the interface between the
yoke and base often to prevent accumulation of debris or salt deposits.
If you have a problem with your thermal camera, do not attempt to repair it
yourself. The M-Series camera is a sealed unit and can not be opened or
serviced in the field. Consult your installation dealer or FLIR Systems Inc. for
repair information.
Caution: The M-Series is sealed at the factory against liquid water, suspended
particulates, and other contaminants. It is important that you not open the camera
for any reason, as it will compromise this seal and possibly damage the unit.
Opening the M-Series camera will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
