Mounting the Filter

mounted with it.

The threaded ring is screwed into the adjusting ring from the front with a torque of 0.2 Nm. A properly
mounted threaded ring will seal off the sensor.
A special IDS tool is required for adjusting the threaded ring (see GigE uEye HE
Accessories).
Cleaning the Filter Glasses
When handling the uEye camera with its lens removed, the filter glass can get soiled from the
outside. This might be visible in the images that are captured. The filter glass should therefore be
cleaned in that case.
It is strongly recommended to return the cameras to Imaging Development Systems
GmbH for professional cleaning.
Imaging Development Systems GmbH is not liable for any damage resulting from
cleaning the filter glasses. This even applies if the following instructions have been
observed.
Instructions for cleaning uEye filter glasses
· The filter glasses may only be cleaned from the outside. If you remove the glasses, the
sensor might get soiled. Imaging Development Systems GmbH is not liable for any damage to the
sensor resulting from removal of the filter glasses.
· First, remove dirt particles on the glass using compressed air. Do not use compressed air
from compressors or spray cans since it often contains oil droplets or droplets of other liquids. For
best results, use purified nitrogen from nitrogen bottles.
· Only use lint-free wipes or cotton-free swabs for cleaning. Never touch the filter glasses with
your bare fingers because often, fingerprints cannot be removed completely afterwards.
· We recommend to use pure alcohol for cleaning. 100% isopropyl alcohol evaporates without
leaving any residues. Only add small quantities of alcohol to the wipe. Never pour alcohol directly
onto the camera.
