Basler dart BCON 5
NOTICE
Incorrect cleaning can damage camera components.

Before cleaning, disconnect the camera from camera power by removing the connector.

After the cleaning procedure, make sure the cleaning material has evaporated before you
reconnect the plugs.

For dart bare board , dart S-mount and dart CS-mount mono variants, i.e. for dart BCON
cameras where the sensor is accessible:

Avoid cleaning the surface of the camera’s sensor.
If you must clean it, use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with a small quantity isopropanol.

Use a cloth that will not generate static charge during cleaning (cotton is a good choice).
Electrostatic discharge might damage the sensor.

Cleaning the IR cut filter of dart CS-mount color variants (the sensor cannot be cleaned):

Try not to touch the IR cut filter and do not clean the IR cut filter mechanically. The glass
of the IR cut filter can break if you apply too much pressure.

Use clean, oil-free compressed air to clean the IR cut filter. Be careful not to apply too
much air pressure.

Do not use solvents or thinners to clean the board or the camera front or both. They can
damage the surface.
NOTICE
Conductive contact can damage the circuit board.
Whenever you work with the camera, make sure that the circuit board has no conductive contact
with other objects. Conductive contact can cause short circuit or overvoltage damage.
