9. Cleaning and Maintenance
9-1 Cleaning the Germanium Lens
Do not use corrosive chemicals on the optical glass components. The germanium window
surface is coated with anti-reflection coating. Dust, grease, and fingerprints will produce
harmful substances and lead to a decline in performance, or cause scratches. If dirt is found,
please use the following methods:
1.
Use a blown balloon or a soft brush to clean the lens surface to avoid dust particles
scratching the anti-reflection film on lens surface during the wiping process.
2. Use a soft cotton or microfiber cloth or lens wiping paper and dip in distilled water.
Gently wipe the lens surface from the middle to the edge, paying attention to not crack
the lens, or use too much liquid. If the lens is still not clean, replace the cloth and repeat
the wiping process.
9-2 Disinfecting the Camera Surface
Do not use corrosive cleaning solutions on the optical glass components.
It is recommended
to disinfect the camera surface regularly with a non-corrosive sanitizing product. Follow the
directions provided by the manufacturer of the cleaning solution. Adhere to the sanitation
protocols and cleaning schedule set forth by the employer.
9-3 Device Calibration
It is recommended to have device(s) re-calibrated annually. Contact customer service to
schedule maintenance.
9-4 Storage
When the equipment is not in use, the Temperature Reference Source should be placed in a
dust-free and moisture-free environment with a stable temperature and humidity.
