Cleaning the Sensor Window
Even with careful handling, the sensor window may need cleaning. The following steps describe
various cleaning techniques to clean minor dust particles to accidental finger touches.
• Use compressed air to blow off loose particles. This step alone is usually sufficient to clean
the sensor window. Avoid moving or shaking the compressed air container and use short
bursts of air while moving the camera in the air stream. Agitating the container will cause
condensation to form in the air stream. Long air bursts will chill the sensor window causing
more condensation. Condensation, even when left to dry naturally, will deposit more
particles on the sensor.
•
When compressed air cannot clean the sensor, Teledyne DALSA recommends using lint-free
ESD-safe cloth wipers that do not contain particles that can scratch the window. The Anticon
Gold 9”x 9” wiper made by Milliken is both ESD safe and suitable for class 100
environments. Another ESD acceptable wiper is the TX4025 from Texwipe.
•
An alternative to ESD-safe cloth wipers is Transplex swabs that have desirable ESD
properties. There are several varieties available from Texwipe. Do not use regular cotton
swabs, since these can introduce static charge to the window surface.
•
Wipe the window carefully and slowly when using these products.
