8 Maintenance
The following maintenance measures should be performed at least at the intervals stated here.
Visual inspection of the optics to check for dirt or condensation should occur as needed or as
a factor of the ambient conditions.

8.1 Dirt and Condensation
To prevent the detector from getting dirty, it should be mounted such that the optics face
down whenever possible. Therefore only a minimum of dust and dirt can settle on the detector.
If the detector is mounted such that the optics have a vertical view or almost vertical view
downward, regular manual cleaning is sufficient.
When the detector is used in areas where there is frequent dust turbulence, it is highly recom-
mended to use purge air (Refer to Chap. „3.4 Purge Air Connection“). In case of a combination
of dust and moisture, purge air is essential.
A liquid film on the detector can prevent a heat source from being recognized. So it is import-
ant to prevent condensation from forming on the optics. The detector may not be used in areas
in which grease or oil used and particularly if splashed can occur. Panes of glass or plastic
cannot be used to protect the optics. The most common glass and plastic panes are complete-
ly impermeable in the relevant wave length range of 8 – 12 µm. In the event that condensation
forms on the optics, switch on the detector heater.
Cleaning
The ADICOS HOTSPOT-1000 may be cleaned with water and dishwashing liquid. Acids and
bases may not be used; do not apply water pressure to clean. Always use a damp, soft cloth,
never rough materials or sponges. The ADICOS HOTSPOT-1000 will not function correctly if it
is not cleaned properly,
