6.3.1 Cleaning the Illumination and Camera Window
WARNING:
Shut down the camera system before performing this
maintenan
ce 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 deflection mirrors. The window cleaning procedure should be
performed without removing the camera from the mounting structure.
20. Switch off the conveyor.
21. Switch off the camera system.
22. Follow the exterior cleaning procedure before cleaning the window.
23. Check the window surface for any dust, dirt, or smudges. If the window needs to be
cleaned, proceed to Step 5.
24. 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.)
25. Apply the cleaning solution to a lint-free cotton cloth.
26. Apply the cloth with cleaning solution to the camera and illumination window.
27. Remove any streaks or remaining moisture from the window with a dry, soft, lint-free
cloth or lens paper.
28. Verify camera operation.
