Maintenance

There are no serviceable parts in the PDA10PT detector or power supply. The housing may be cleaned by wiping

with a soft damp cloth. The window of the detector should only be cleaned using isopropyl alcohol and optical

grade wipes. If you suspect a problem with your PDA10PT, please contact your local Thorlabs technical support

office and a member of our support team will be happy to assist you.
