Appendix E. Cleaning Procedures

Cleaning Detector Lens Interfaces

E.8 Cleaning Detector Lens Interfaces

As used on the HP 81522A Optical Head (small area) and
HP 8140A and HP 8153A detector modules.

Normally, the lens interface can be cleaned by using the blow
brush. If adhesive dirt must be removed perform as follows:

Using the blow brush, remove the dust from the lens surface.

Press the special cleaning tip to the lens surface and rotate the
tip.

N OT E

Use alcohol for cleaning only when the above procedure does not help
or if the dirt is caused by oil or fat.
