PRELIMINARY
10-4-4-2 Air Filter Cleaning
Regular cleaning of the Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N scanner’s air filter will ensure that the filter does not
become clogged - this would otherwise cause the system to overheat and reduce system performance
and reliability.
NOTE: It is recommended that the air filter cleaning procedure is performed once every 3 months (quarterly).
However, the required frequency for air filter cleaning will vary in accordance with environmental
conditions.
NOTE: For convenience (or if the air filter is excessively dirty), replacement filters are available. Refer
to Chapter 9 - Renewal Parts for the air filter replacement part number.
