MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
8.1
Cleaning a Code Reader CF26 Housing
• To clean the outside of the code reader CF26 housing, apply a small amount of mild detergent cleaner or isopropyl alcohol
on a cleaning cloth.
• Do not attempt to clean the code reader with harsh or corrosive solvents, including lye, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or
gasoline. It may cause a failure.

Cleaning an Image Sensor Window
• To remove dust from the outside of the image sensor window, use a pressurized air duster. The air must be free of oil,
moisture, or other contaminants that could remain on the lens cover. These substances could remain on the glass and
possibly degrade the image.

• If oil/smudges still remain, clean the image sensor window with a cotton bud soaked in alcohol (ethyl, methyl or isopropyl).

the plastic window.
