Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) events may cause immediate and unrecoverable damage to the image sensor.
Read the following instructions and take EXTREME CARE when cleaning the image sensor surface.
◼ ALWAYS take appropriate anti-static precautions when cleaning or working near the Image sensor.
◼ DO NOT use any form of cleaning equipment using electrostatic or ‘charged fiber’ technology.
◼ Discharge any electrostatic build up in your body by touching a grounded metallic surface before
working near the camera sensor.
◼ Very gently, use only clean and dry air to remove dust from surface of the image sensor.
◼ To remove stubborn contamination, use the highest grade (e.g. VLSI grade) pure Isopropyl alcohol
(IPA) with optical wipes of ‘clean room’ grade.
◼ Extreme care must be taken! Gently wipe across the sensor in a single action.
DO NOT rub to avoid abrasive damage to delicate optical coatings on the glass surface.
