M-Series Maintenance
The M-Series components are designed for years of rugged, trouble-free use. When the system is
not in use, keep the JCU cover in place for additional protection.
Cleaning the JCU
To clean the JCU, use a soft cloth and clean water. Mild household cleaner such as Windex can
also be used to remove tougher stains or spots. Do not use alcohol based cleaners or any type of
solvents as this may discolor or damage the unit.
Cleaning the Camera Optics
Great care should be used with your camera's optics. They
are delicate and can be damaged by improper cleaning. The
M-Series thermal camera lenses are designed for the harsh
outdoor environment and have a coating for durability and
anti-reflection, but may require cleaning occasionally. FLIR
Systems Inc. suggests that you clean the lens when image
quality degradation is noticed or excessive contaminant
build-up is seen on the lens.
Rinse the camera housing and optics with low pressure fresh
water to remove any salt deposits and to keep it clean. If the
front window of the camera gets water spots, wipe it with a
clean soft cotton cloth dampened with fresh water. If the
window requires further cleaning, use a soft moist cotton-
based cloth with isopropyl alcohol or dish soap.
Do not use abrasive materials, such as paper or scrub brushes as this will possibly damage the
lens by scratching it. Only wipe the lens clean when you can visually see contamination on the
surface. Never use ammonia-based cleaning products on the optics.
