7.2.2
Cleaning the 2D LiDAR sensors
The 2D LiDAR sensors are largely maintenance-free.
To achieve the full optical output of the 2D LiDAR sensors, the inspection window must
be checked for contamination and cleaned accordingly. This is especially true in harsh
operating environments (dust, humidity, etc.).
Displaying the degree of contamination in TEMS Manager
The 2D LiDAR sensors feature a contamination indicator that will issue an error message
in TEMS Manager in the event of excessive contamination. In addition, the degree
of 2D LiDAR sensor contamination is indicated in the TEMS Manager live view by a
corresponding color icon (see also chapter
8.3.1 Fault diagnosis in TEMS Manager
Requesting the degree of contamination via the TEMS Info interface
The customer can also call up the contamination message via the
TEMS Info interface
.
Cleaning the inspection window
▸
Use a clean, soft brush to remove dust from the inspection window.
▸
Then wipe the inspection window with a clean, damp cloth.
WARNING
Damage to the inspection window
The optical output is weakened by scratches and streaks on the inspection window.
▸
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents.
▸
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
▸
Avoid scratching and chafing movements on the inspection window.
Static charging may cause dust particles to stick to the inspection window. You can
mitigate this effect by using anti-static plastic cleaner (part no. 5600006) and a SICK lens
cloth (part no. 4003353).
Cleaning the housing and weather hood
▸
Where necessary, remove the worst of the contamination from the 2D LiDAR sensor
housings and weather hoods. To do this, use a damp cloth.
