•
The camera body can be cleaned with a soft cloth and dampened by water or glass cleaner.
•
Never spray liquids directly on the camera; apply cleaning solution to the cloth, then wipe the camera body with
the dampened cloth.
•
Do not use abrasive or other detergents to clean the camera.
•
Dust may also collect on the cooling fans located on the back of the CCU-500. From time to time, it may be
necessary to clear away the dust with a small brush. The fans disperse heat from the unit. Should the airflow
become blocked, the unit may overheat and the thermal warning will be activated to protect the unit from
damage.
•
Decontamination: In the event any product must be returned the customer must complete a decontamination
form to declare the equipment os contamination free and safe for Andor employees to work on:

At some point, it may become necessary to clean debris that may have settled on the CCD imaging sensor
window. Cleaning the camera window can provide effective results providing you carefully follow these
step-by-step directions.
WARNINGS
•
Only open the shutter (if present) using camera control software.
•
Do not attempt to manually open the shutter with your fingers or other objects.
•
The glass is located very close to the CCD imaging sensor. Scratching the window may require the
window to be replaced.
•
Cleaning the window is done entirely at the customers risk, window replacement is not covered under
the warranty. It’s better to under-clean than to over-clean.
