Cleaning the Camera Window
WARNING:
Shut down the camera system before performing this
maintenance task. Do not stare into the camera’s window at the LED light.
Avoid direct eye exposure. The LED light level does not constitute a health
hazard, however staring at the LED light for prolonged periods could result
in eye damage.
CAUTION:
Never apply cleaning solution directly to the camera window.
Always apply the solution to a cloth, and then the cloth to the window. Do
not use any chemical on the camera that is unsafe for plastics, such as
benzene, acetone, or similar products.
This procedure is recommended only if it is noticed that the environment is
dirty enough that deposits are appearing on the folding mirrors. The exit
window cleaning procedure should be performed without removing the
camera from the mounting structure.
1. Switch off the conveyor.
2. Switch off the camera system.
3. Follow the exterior cleaning procedure before cleaning the exit window.
4. Check the exit window surface for any dust, dirt, or smudges. If the
window needs to be cleaned, proceed to Step 5.
5. Make a solution of seven parts denatured alcohol and three parts water.
(Many over-the-counter solutions will leave deposits/smudges that can
affect performance.)
6. Apply the cleaning solution to a lint-free cotton cloth.
7. Apply the cloth with cleaning solution to the exit window.
8. Remove any streaks or remaining moisture from the exit window with a
dry, soft, lint-free cloth or lens paper.
9. Verify camera operation. Follow the Operations Checklist procedure in
Chapter 6.
