Tighten the transparent belts.
Cleaning the transparent belts
Clean the belts with water and a cloth or absorbent paper. A detergent may be used
for persistent contamination but do not allow detergent to fall on the mirrors. Any
scrubbing of the mirrors to remove detergent spots may damage the mirror surface.
Access to the lower belt is facilitated by momentarily activating the "ON/OFF"
switch to rotate the belt so that you can clean the portion of the belt that is near the
sample tray. The inner surfaces are cleaned by reaching into the access ports in the
front plate. Loosen the belts to facilitate cleaning the pulley surfaces.
Cleaning the mirror or camera lens
If the mirror or the camera lens have to be cleaned, use the "blow brush" provided
with the instrument. If persistent dirt remains on the mirror, use water and a soft
absorbent paper such as lens paper.
Cleaning the interior of the camera
Cleaning within the camera housing is discouraged unless there is evidence of debris
on the scanner (spurious counts). Removing the lens requires two retaining set
screws to be removed first. Do not remove the three screws holding the lens base to
the square plate. Loosen the screws on the outer camera pressure plate and lift the
camera from the rails to more easily inspect the interior. The camera remains con-
nected so do not apply tension to the connection.
The rectangular sensitive device (reticon) is visible at the interior rear of the camera
housing. Any speck of dirt on this sensor will cause spurious counting. Use the
"blow brush" provided to remove dust. Do not use a moist cloth to clean within the
camera housing, as the adhesive dust retaining tape surrounding the reticon and
printed circuit board can be damaged.
Cleaning the motor and belt drive system
The motor and belt drive system requires no routine service or lubrication. If excess-
ive debris becomes embedded into the belt, it can be removed with a small stiff
