Sensor Maintenance
The AR100 sensor and module require little maintenance from the user. The
sensor lens should be kept clean of dust buildup as a part of regular
preventative maintenance. Use compressed air to blow dirt off the windows or
use delicate tissue wipes. Do not use any organic cleaning solvents on the
sensor. If your sensor does not function according to specifications, contact
Schmitt Industries, Inc. Do not attempt to loosen any screws or open the
sensor housing.
2.6
Sensor Service
The AR100 sensor is not user-serviceable. Refer all service questions to
Schmitt Industries, Inc. Do not attempt to loosen any screws or open the
sensor housing.
