4.1
Cleaning
It is of utmost importance that the optical apertures of the deflector optical head be kept clean and
free of contamination. When the device is not in use, the apertures may be protected by a covering of
masking tape. When in use, frequently clean the apertures with a pressurized jet of filtered, dry air.
It will probably be necessary in time to wipe the coated window surfaces of atmospherically deposited
films. Although the coatings are hard and durable, care must be taken to avoid gouging of the surface
and leaving residues. It is suggested that the coatings be wiped with a soft ball of brushed (short
fibres removed) cotton, slightly moistened with clean alcohol. Before the alcohol has had time to dry
on the surface, wipe again with dry cotton in a smooth, continuous stroke. Examine the surface for
residue and, if necessary, repeat the cleaning.
4.2
Troubleshooting
No troubleshooting procedures are proposed other than a check of alignment and operating
procedure. If difficulties arise, take note of the symptoms and contact the manufacturer.
4.3
Repairs
In the event of deflector malfunction, discontinue operation and immediately contact the manufacturer
or his representative. Due to the high sensitive of tuning procedures and the possible damage which
may result, no user repairs are allowed. Evidence that an attempt has been made to open the optical
head will void the manufacturer's warranty.
