Maintenance
7.1
Maintenance during operation
The LD-MRS is maintenance-free. In order to ensure laser class 1 of the LD-MRS, no main-
tenance is necessary.
The LD-MRS issues device and function errors via the Ethernet interface, see
Warnings and fault messages, Page 91
Important
Breaking the seal and opening the device void any warranty claims against SICK AG. The
housing may only be opened by authorized service personnel of SICK AG.
7.2
Cleaning the device
Recommendation
In order to keep the complete measurement power of the LD-MRS, check the window of the
LD-MRS on a regular basis (e. g. weekly) for contamination. This is particularly true in rugged
operation environments (dust, debris, humidity).
CAUTION
Laser radiation
!
The LD-MRS uses infrared light laser. The device is specified as laser class 1 (eye-safe).
Do not open the device
(opening the housing does not interrupt the laser operation).
Observe the valid laser protection regulations in their newest version.
7.2.1
Cleaning the window from outside
NOTICE
Damaging the window!
Reduced measurement capabilities by scratches and streaks on the window!
The window of the LD-MRS (
) consists of a special plastic material.
Only clean after a visual check.
Do not touch the window with your fingers.
Do not use aggressive detergents.
Do not use paper towels for cleaning (can contain scratching wood particles!).
Avoid scratching and abrasive movement on the window.
Recommendation
Static charges cause dust particles to be attracted to the window. Reduce this effect by us-
ing the antistatic plastic cleaner (Part No. 5600006) and the lens cloth (Part No. 4003353),
