SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE

THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE THE CAMERA. DAMAGE CAUSED BY
UNAUTHORIZED MAINTENANCE OR PROCEDURES WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY.

5.1 R

•

The state of the product should be checked regularly, especially the integrity of the PSU, the mains cables and
water tubing.

•

Do not use equipment that is damaged.

Hecks

•

It is advisable to check the integrity of the insulation and protective earth of the PSU on an annual basis, e.g.
U.K. PAT testing.

•

The camera body can be cleaned with a soft cloth and dampened by water or glass cleaner.

•

Never spray liquids directly on the camera; apply cleaning solution to the cloth, then wipe the camera body with
the dampened cloth.

•

Do not use abrasive or other detergents to clean the camera.

•

Decontamination: In the event any product must be returned the customer must complete a decontamination
form to declare the equipment is contamination free and safe for Andor employees to work on:

At some point, it may become necessary to clean debris that may have settled on the sCMOS imaging
sensor window. Cleaning the camera window can provide effective results providing you carefully follow
these step-by-step directions.

WARNINGS

•

The glass is located very close to the sCMOS imaging sensor. Scratching the window may require the
window to be replaced.

•

Cleaning the window is done entirely at the customers risk, window replacement is not covered under the
warranty. It’s better to under-clean than to over-clean.
