8.2 Window Cleaning
The linescanner’s window must be kept as clean as possible. Any foreign matter on the window will affect the
accuracy of the measurements. Take care when cleaning the window as it can easily be scratched. Please observe
the following guidelines:
•
Lightly blow off loose particles.
•
Gently brush off remaining particles with a soft camel hair brush.
•
Clean remaining dirt using a soft cotton cloth dampened in distilled water. Don’t rub.
•
To remove finger prints or other grease, gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened in a mild soap or distilled
water (or ethanol or alcohol) solution.
•
You should avoid getting any liquid in areas surrounding the window material.
