APPENDIX B
– PROTECTIVE BEZEL
REMOVAL AND WINDOW INSTALLATION
The windowless protective bezel on the pyroelectric detector allows the Pyrocam to be operated
at various wavelengths of light and provides some degree of protection to the detector.
Optional A/R coated windows can be installed which provide added protection. These windows
limit the pyroelectric detector response to a specific wavelength light range. (See APPENDIX E
for a list of available windows.)
Observe the following precautions:
With the window removed, the detector is vulnerable to damage. Damage can be
caused by objects striking the detector, particles getting inside the package, or by
ESD.
Installation of a window can cause its own problems if not properly done. The
clearance between the chopper blade and the window is very small. If the reinstalled
window sits up higher than it should, the chopper blade may collide with the window
causing considerable damage to both the window and the chopper.
All removal and installation of windows should be done in a clean room if possible. If
one is not available, use the cleanest area possible.
CAUTION
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can result in permanent damage to electronic
equipment. Always ground yourself by touching the system cabinet before beginning
the following procedure. We strongly recommend using an anti-static wrist strap
attached to earth ground.
