Servicing, Maintenance and Cleaning Instructions
The camera is maintenance-free.
Factory settings make any inspection and servicing superfluous.
During use the camera should be protected from hard shocks or
strong vibrations.
Also should the camera be protected from high humidity and
temperature shocks. Avoid exposing to sunlight, since it heats
up the camera housing unnecessarily and prevents the cooling
from reaching its optimum operating temperature.
Keep apertures and slots free to allow air to circulate.
Objective lens or lens adapter should be screwed in gently.
Avoid forcing as it will damage the tread.
Use a soft and dry cloth to clean the housing.
Cleaning Method for the Optical Part
In principle every cleaning method bears the danger of damag-
ing an optical surface.
Therefore clean only if it is strictly necessary.
As a first step use dry air to blow out dust particles. Avoid strictly
to wipe on a dry glass surface.
In case dirt cannot be removed by blowing, use special optical
cleaning fluids. Adequate fluids for optical surfaces are: pure
dehydrogenated alcohol, pure acetone or cleaning fluids avail-
able in photo shops. Use a soaked cotton tip and take care to
wipe only on glass surfaces, avoiding contact to metal surfaces,
e.g. C-Mount thread, otherwise microscopic dirt and metallic
chips are released, causing irreparable scratches on the glass
surface.
Never use aggressive cleaning substances, e.g. benzine, spirit,
nitro solvents, etc. commonly found in labs. Such substances
may destroy or damage the surface on which they are applied.
The best is to avoid any dirt on optical parts, e.g. by replacing
immediately the black protection cap when removing the objec-
tive lens. Do not leave the camera’s optical input window open,
without lens or protecting cap.
Our warranty does not cover damaged optical surfaces caused
by improper cleaning methods.
