8-2-1 Cleaning
Clean the DeviceNet Units regularly as described below in order to keep the
Network in its optimal operating condition.
• Wipe the Unit with a dry, soft cloth for regular cleaning.
• When dust or dirt cannot be removed with a dry cloth, dampen the cloth
with a neutral cleanser (2%), wring out the cloth, and wipe the Unit.
• Smudges may remain on the Unit from gum, vinyl, or tape that was left on
for a long time. Remove these smudges when cleaning.
Note Never use volatile solvents, such as paint thinner or benzene, or chemical
wipes to clean the Unit. These substances may damage the surface of the
Unit.
