CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEABLE PARTS
7.1
Cleaning / Inspection after Use
After use and prior to stowing, the camera should be cleaned. This is best carried out using
a cloth soaked with warm soapy water.
Check the camera for any signs of damage that may have occurred during the preceding
use, for example front / rear window damage or case cracking due to extreme impacts or
case damage due to extreme heat.
Do not use coarse abrasives on the window surfaces, and ensure that any grit is removed
before rubbing to dry.
In cases of contamination or infection risk, seek expert advice in accordance with the
hazard encountered (e.g. foul water, Hazchem)
Solvents should not be used. If in doubt, contact your supplier.
7.2
Maintenance
No routine maintenance is required for the camera. If it is not in regular use, it should be
switched on for a period of ten minutes every month to check correct operation.
Batteries should be recharged every 6 months if not used.
Battery capacity can be expected to reduce over time. The Argus® Mi-TIC rechargeable
batteries use LiFePO
4
cells which age to approximately 70% of original capacity after 2000
cycles under test conditions. Users should therefore expect to replace the batteries during
the camera lifecycle.
There are very few other ‘lifed’ components in the argus® Mi-TIC camera and repair /
replacement of these will be offered via Avon Protection or an authorised repair centre
subject to component availability.
