7. Maintenance
7.3 Diagnostic LED indicators within the enclosure
7.1 General
The SkyVUE 8M is a robust weather resistant instrument and there is no need for routine
maintenance other than cleaning. The instrument performance is monitored, and any potential
problems are indicated by error messages.
7.2 Cleaning
The SkyVUE 8M window will require cleaning from time to time. The frequency of required
cleaning depends on the exposure of the instrument to contaminants such as salt and dust. This
will vary depending on the site location. The SkyVUE 8M is capable of self diagnosing dirty lenses
and will indicate in its output when the lenses are contaminated.
In any case, we suggest six monthly intervals for locations not prone to contaminants and
monthly intervals for those prone to contamination (coastal, roadside or airport use). In some
cases, more frequent cleaning may be required where there are high levels of contaminants and
high dependency on the instrument output.
