Cleaning the Instrument
Your instrument requires very little preventative maintenance to achieve years of reliable operation.
However, to protect your investment and maintain measurement accuracy, a few simple-cleaning
procedures should be performed from time to time.
Make sure AC power is disconnected from the system before performing any instrument
cleaning procedure.
General Cleaning
The read head cover, measurement table surface and vertical arm may be wiped clean with a
cloth dampened in water or mild cleaner.
DO NOT
spray water or cleaning solution directly on the read head cover, measurement table
surface and vertical arm.
DO NOT
use any solvents or harsh cleaners of any kind.
Lens Cleaning
DO NOT
use any solvents or harsh cleaners of any kind.
In the course of normal use, spray powder, paper dust, and other airborne contaminants will
likely enter the read head’s optics. This can eventually reduce the sensitivity of the read head
and may lead to calibration or measurement errors. It is recommended that you clean the lens
every 30 days or as needed.
1.
Release the read head from the locked down position by simultaneously compressing the
orange release posts on both sides of the read head.
2.
Rotate the read head back so that the optics is accessible for cleaning.
Note:
The read head will not stay in place. Make sure you hold it in the upright position.
Blow short bursts of clean, dry air into the optical assembly. Ensure that the air nozzle is
approximately 10 mm from the optics.
