Maintenance
The CC6000 requires minimal maintenance. In the event that it proves necessary to move your unit to another
location or to ship it to another facility, use the following guidelines to prevent damage to your system.
4.4.1.
Cleaning the CPU, Monitor, and Interferometer
Use a damp, lint free cloth to clean the outer housing of the interferometer. If any dust or dirt has collected on the
mount, remove the mount from the mount base on the microscope and use compressed air to blow off particles. If
any dust or dirt has collected on the mount base, wipe off dirt with a lint free wipe. An alcohol wipe can be used on
the mount base and mounts if excessively dirty.
NOTE: Do not attempt to clean the internal parts of the microscope unit. Use of a dust cover when the unit is not in
use will prevent foreign particles from collecting on the equipment and will make maintenance of the system much
easier.
4.4.2.
Repacking Unit For Shipment
If the interferometer needs to be repacked for moving or shipping, it is very important that it is packed as it was
received. Follow the Shipping Kit Instructions.
NOTE: Thorlabs strongly recommends that the original shipping containers be saved for future transportation needs.
