Cleaning the Outside
Case
Clean the outside case using a damp cloth being careful not to damage the
labels on the case.
Cleaning the Optics
Best results are obtained when the optics are cleaned prior to calibration.
The cleanliness of the mirrors should be checked any time the AGC
intensity is below 200,000 Hz, since one cause of low output is light
attenuation due to dirt on the mirrors.
Use the following procedure to clean the mirrors.
1. Turn off power and disconnect power line.
2. Remove the field mirror by removing the four Allen head screws holding
it to the main bench (use a 9/64-inch Allen wrench).
3. Remove the relay mirror by removing the three Allen head screws
holding it to the main bench (use a 9/64-inch Allen wrench).
4. Carefully clean each mirror using a cotton swab and methanol. Rinse
with distilled or deionized water. Dry by blowing clean dry air over the
mirror.
5. Reassemble following the above procedure in reverse. It is not necessary
to realign any mirror following cleaning.
6. Calibrate the instrument. See the “Calibration” chapter in this manual.
Equipment Damage
Do Not use solvents or other cleaning products to
clean the outside case.
Equipment Damage
Some internal components can be damaged by small
amounts of static electricity. A properly grounded antistatic wrist strap must
be worn while handling any internal component. For more information
about appropriate safety precautions, see the “Servicing” chapter.
