LEANING
Even though the M500 is basically a sealed unit, dust and debris can, over time, accumulate inside the
scan path, and in particular on the mirrors inside the unit. The detection process should be performed in
a periodic basis to assess if dust has degraded the image quality.
The Detection and Cleaning process for the M500 mirrors requires the following items:
1.
Calibration Card, this card is designed and made by E-Seek, Item # M500-CALIB.
2.
M500 path Air Divider, a plastic part made to block the M500 scan path and divide the air flow,
Item # M500-AIRDV
3.
Air Duster, aerosol can of compressed air. The preferred air duster is designed to leave no
residue with a high filtration. The non-flammable model of the product is preferred. The
following Brand has been used and tested by E-Seek. Chemtronics Ultrajet 70.
