13.1 Sensor
Recommended Equipment
▪
Miroscope
▪
Air gun
▪
Single drop bottle with pure alcohol
▪
Swab
▪
Phillips screwdriver
Procedure
1.
Make sure that the contamination is not on the sensor glass
(except LXG-40M.P) or the installed lens.
2.
Uninstall the lens mount adapter ( LXG-40M.P). Uninstall the sensor glass
(except LXG-40M.P) using the phillips screw driver.
3.
Blow away mobile contamination using the air gun.
4.
Place the sensor under the microscope to determine the location of any
remaining contamination.
5.
Clean the contamination on the sensor using one drop pure alcohol on a swab.
Wipe the swab from left to right (or conversely, but only in one direction). Do this
in an overlapping pattern, turning the swab after the first wipe and with each
subsequent wipe. Avoid swiping back and forth with the same swab in order to
ensure that particles are removed and not transferred to a new location on the
sensor. Use several swabs for this procedure.
13.2 Cover glass
If you must clean it, use compressed air or a soft, lint free cloth dampened with a small
quantity of pure alcohol.
13.3 Housing
Caution!
volatile
solvents
Volatile solvents for cleaning.
Volatile solvents damage the surface of the camera.
Never use volatile solvents (benzine, thinner) for cleaning!
To clean the surface of the camera housing, use a soft, dry cloth. To remove persistent
stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a small quantity of neutral detergent, then wipe dry.
