Daily Maintenance 

 
This chapter describes how to maintain the system. 
To prolong the performance of this system, Nikon recommends you to perform daily maintenance. 
 
 

20.1 

 

Cleaning Utensils and Consumables 

Cleaning utensils 

•

 Soft-tip brush 

Note

 

•

  Soft cloth (nonwoven cloth, cotton cloth, or gauze) 

Note

 

Note:  Use the cleanroom wiper in the cleanroom. 

Consumables 

•

  Neutral detergent (only when the product main body is very dirty) 

•

  Absolute alcohol (ethyl alcohol or methyl alcohol) (for cleaning the surface of the monitor) 

 
 

20.2 

 

Cleaning the DS-L3 Main Body 

 

•

  Wipe off stains on the DS-L3 main body or cables with a soft cloth or others. If the product is very dirty, gently wipe stains 

using gauze moistened with a small amount of diluted neutral detergent. 

•

  Do not use organic solvent (such as alcohol, ether, and thinner) on coated parts, plastic parts, or printed parts. It causes 

discoloration or exfoliation of printed characters. 

•

  Gently wipe off stains on the surface of the panel of the embedded monitor with a soft and clean cotton cloth, lens tissue, 

or gauze. Only if the lens becomes dirty with fingerprints or grease stains, slightly dampen a piece of soft, clean cotton 
cloth, lens tissue, or gauze with absolute alcohol (ethyl or methyl alcohol) and gently wipe away the stains. 

-

  Since absolute alcohol is highly flammable, be careful in handling it so that it does not ignite. 

-

  Observe the manufacturer’s handling instructions when handling absolute alcohol. 

 
 

20.3 

 

Cleaning the DS-Camera Head 

 

•

  Wipe off stains on the DS camera head main body with a soft cloth or others in a state where the C mount cap is attached. 

If the product is very dirty, gently wipe stains using gauze moistened with a small amount of diluted neutral detergent. 

•

  Do not use organic solvent (such as alcohol, ether, and thinner) on coated parts, plastic parts, or printed parts. It causes 

discoloration or exfoliation of printed characters. 

•

  Blow off duct in the mount of the DS camera head with an air blower. 

 

  Cleaning in the DS Camera Head 

Blow off duct in the mount of the DS camera head with an air blower. However, do not touch the components in the DS 
camera head as far as possible. Especially, never touch the glass filter on the front of the image pickup device. 
When the glass filter of the image pickup device is touched, or dust adhered to the glass filter cannot be removed, make 
sure to ask your supplier cleaning. 

 
 

20.4 

 

Cleaning Optical Devices 

 
Prevent dust or fingerprints from being attached to the lens of optical devices. Stains on the lens degrade the visibility of 
images. 
For details on how to clean optical devices, see the instructions of your optical device.
