Maintenance
6.1.
Basic Care
Handle the complete system with care during the transportation and unpacking. Banging or dropping the system
can damage the unit or lower the system performance. If this occurs, the complete system will need to be sent back
for recalibration. Please contact Thorlabs technical support for more information.
•
Do not store or operate in a damp, closed environment.
•
Do not store or operate on surfaces that are susceptible to vibrations.
•
Do not expose to direct sunlight.
•
Do not use the solvents on or near the equipment.
•
Mobile telephones, cellular phones or other radio transmitters should not be used with a range of 3 m of
this unit since the electromagnetic field intensity may exceed the maximum allowable disturbance values,
according to EN50082-1.
•
Keep away from dust, dirt, and air-borne pollutants (including cigarette smoke). The system is not designed
for outdoor use. Protect the equipment from rain, snow, and humidity.
•
Do not expose to mechanical and thermal extremes. Protect the equipment from rapid variations in
temperature.
•
Handle all connectors with care. Do not use unnecessary force, as this may damage the connectors.
•
Handle the mainframe with care. Mishandling may cause the body injury.
•
Clean the protective window by using a soft, lint free cloth. Use of isopropyl alcohol is permitted; however,
do not immerse in any liquid or solvent.
•
Clean any accessible optical surfaces with an appropriate optics grade tissue or cloth.
