PTICAL WINDOW CLEANING PROCEDURE
The optical window is manufactured from anti-reflection coated optical glass; it must be
treated with the same level of care as a high-performance camera lens.
Before inspecting or cleaning the optical window, ensure that the gauge is powered
off, the LSR_EN key-switch is locked out and no laser light is emitted.
