SICK TriSpector1000

8 Maintenance
8.1 Cleaning
To maintain the reading performance of the TriSpector1000, it is necessary to keep
the camera window and the laser window clean. Check the windows for contamination
such as dust or moisture regularly. Clean with a damp and soft cloth and use a mild
cleaning agent if necessary.
For the TriSpector1000 PMMA variants, the windows can attract dust particles due to
static charge. Use the SICK anti-static plastic cleaning agent (no. 5600006) in combina‐
tion with the SICK lens cloth (no. 4003353) to reduce this effect.
NOTE
No maintenance is required to ensure compliance with the laser class.
