If you require technical assistance fitting the Hydro-Wiper to your
instrument, please contact Zebra-Tech. See contact page for our
details.
FITTING YOUR SENSOR INTO THE HYDRO-WIPER CLAMP
ADJUSTING WIPER BRUSH PRESSURE
The success of the Hydro-Wiper is based on the brush sweeping
lightly across the sensor window at regular intervals – it is not a
scrubbing action. If there is excessive pressure, the life of the
brush will be reduced and damage to the sensor surfaces may
occur. If the brush pressure is insufficient, contact between the
brush and optical window will be lost and fouling may develop.
There are two methods to adjust the brush pressure depending on
the orientation of the brush. Vertical brushes are for instruments
with the windows on the side. Horizontal brushes are for
instruments with optical window on top of the sensor.
1. Vertical brushes:
The brush is mounted on an adjustable arm. The length of the arm
controls the brush pressure applied to the face of the sensor. This
is generally factory set and should not need adjustment unless you
are changing sensors.
Ensure the Hydro-Wiper is switched off when manually
rotating the wiper brush.
