Cleaning
We recommend cleaning the sensor at regular intervals.
Dry Cleaning
This can be accomplished with an anti-static lens brush or by blasting the MFS sensors with dehumidified, clean, oil-free
compressed air.
Wet Cleaning
Use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth or lens cleaning paper and lens cleaner to clean the lenses. Never use commercially
available glass cleaner or other cleaning agents.
