Cleaning the CyScan Sensor
To maintain the CyScan Sensor in good working order it is important that both its casing
and optical elements are kept free of contamination.
To clean the casing and bellows:
Use a sponge or cloth with warm water to wipe any sea spray or other contamination
from the metal casing or the flexible bellows.
To clean the optical window:
Use a lint-free cloth with IPA spray to carefully wipe the optical window.
To clean the targets:
As per the CyScan casing and bellows above. In dirty environments the reflective faces of
the targets should be cleaned regularly for best viewing. Also, under icy or frosty condi-
tions, the targets should be cleared of any condensation or ice.
Greasing the Gearbox
Where a grease nipple is fitted, the gearbox should be greased once a year.
Remove the rotor heatshield (see
Stage 1
of the
Removing and fitting key components
section) to gain access to the gearbox grease nipple. Apply 5 to 10 shots of grease to the
grease nipple to lubricate the gearbox. Replace the Rotor Heatshield.
