6.2 RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE FREQUENCY
The AV7000 Camera Barcode Reading System is designed for industrial environments. The
recommended frequency for performing these maintenance tasks will depend on the
application’s environment. In general, these procedures are recommended only if it is noticed
that the environment is dirty enough that deposits are appearing on the equipment or when
performance is degraded by accumulation of dust or dirt on the exit windows or deflection
mirrors. By monitoring normal operations and performing weekly visual checks, you can
establish a maintenance schedule that fits your application.
6.3 MAINTENANCE TASKS
Perform the maintenance tasks on an “as needed” basis to assure proper operation of the
camera.
Task schedule frequency depends upon the application environment conditions. Harsh
environments that expose the equipment to more heat, dust, and dirt will require these
procedures be performed more frequently.
It only requires a few minutes to complete each maintenance task.
Exterior Cleaning
CAUTION:
Do not use any chemical on the barcode reader that
is unsafe for plastics, such as benzene, acetone, or similar
products. Before performing this maintenance task, be sure to
shut down the unit.
The exterior cleaning procedure may be performed without removing the barcode reader
from the mounting structure.
1. Switch off the conveyor.
2. Switch off the camera system by disconnecting the power source.
3. Clean the exterior (except the windows) with a clean, soft-bristle brush. Be sure not to
brush any dust, dirt, or debris onto the windows.
4. Carefully remove any dirt or debris in or around the connector panel and cooling fans.
If necessary, clean under the fans by removing them from the camera and
illumination. Unscrew the knurled knobs at the sides of the fan and lift it free.
5. Wipe the exterior with a clean, soft cloth dampened slightly with a mild detergent
solution. 0.
