Maintenance of the Thermal 

Imager

8.1 Cleaning the Camera Shell, Cables and other 
Components

Cleaning Procedures

Please use a soft cloth and pure water/Non-irritant cleaning liquid to clean. 

Note: 

Please don’t apply corrosive or similar liquid on the Imager, cable or other parts. 
This might cause damages.

8.2 Cleaning the Infrared Lens

Cleaning Procedures

Please use professional lens cleaning cotton pad and liquid with an isopropyl 

alcohol concentration above 30%, or 96% ethanol (C2H5OH) to clean.

Note:

1.  Lens cleaning cotton pad is a disposable item; do not reuse it.

2.  Please be careful when cleaning the infrared lens. The lens has a precise anti-

reflective coating.

3.  Do not use excessive force to clean the infrared lens. This might damage the 

anti-reflective coating.
