DWD Installation Requirements
The Sensor with the Dirty Window Detector option requires the use of an ESA – Extension Sleeve
Adapter accessory along with other Modline 5 accessories. The ESA, combined with other accessories,
serves as protection for the DWD optics. The photograph (
) illustrates several of the
accessories.
The ESA is used in the following combinations to provide air purging or to create a dead air space zone
in front of the Sensor optics to help keep them clean. The combinations also provide shielding from
stray radiation emanating from high temperature targets and thermal isolation for the Dirty Window
Detector Components. The APA - Air Purge, used in combinations one and two below, provides the
