Introduction
View a live image with the camera after blowing. If debris is still present,
repeat the process until it is determined that the particulate cannot be
dislodged. If this is the case, proceed to the contact cleaning technique.
Contact cleaning
Only use this method if the above air cleaning method does not sufficiently
clean the surface. Use 99% pure isopropyl alcohol and clean cotton swabs.
Wet the swab in the alcohol. Quickly wipe the optics in a single stroke.
Prolonged exposure of alcohol on the swab can cause the swab glue to loosen
and transfer to the optic glass. Do not reuse the same swab. Repeat this
process until the debris is removed. If this process fails to remove the debris,
contact Allied Vision.
Caution
Do not exceed 6 bar (90 psi). If using canned air,
approximately ~ 4.8 bar (70 psi) when full, do not shake or tilt
the can, as extreme changes in temperature due to sudden
cold air can crack the optic glass.
