Cleaning instructions
Carry out all cleaning operations (on lenses, filter or protection glass, and sensor)
in a clean dust ‐ free room . The optical components are very fragile, therefore you
must not touch them with your fingers or any hard material.
1. Unplug the camera from any power supply before cleaning.
Figure 31: Camera mount without filter, directly exposing the sensor.
Use proper cleaning materials when cleaning glass surfaces.
• Never wipe lenses with dry swabs or tissue ‐ this may cause scratches.
• As a cleaning tool, use only lens cleaning tabs or a lens cleaning tissue
wrapped around a small piece of plastic. The lens cleaning tissue must be
chemically pure and free from silicones and other additives.
• Do not use metal tools.
• Do not use any disposable cotton cosmetic swabs; they may contain contami ‐
nants.
• Do not use cosmetic cotton.
• Do not use consumer eyeglass cleaning cloths pretreated with silicone.
• Do not use fibrous material that may get caught in small gaps.
• As cleaning liquid, use only optics cleaner (60% ethyl alcohol, 40% ether) or
isopropyl alcohol.
Never use aggressive cleaners like benzine or spirits. Using cleaners like that may
damage the surface.
