Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) events may cause immediate and unrecoverable damage to the
image sensor. Please 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.
■
Please 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.)
