Cleaning the camera
31.3 Infrared detector
31.3.1 General

Note
• This section only applies to cameras where removing the lens exposes the infrared
detector.

tector must be cleaned mechanically. This mechanical cleaning must be carried out by
an authorized service partner.
CAUTION
In Step 2 below, do not use pressurized air from pneumatic air circuits in a workshop, etc., as this air usu-
ally contains oil mist to lubricate pneumatic tools.

1. Remove the lens from the camera.
2. Use pressurized air from a compressed air canister to blow off the dust.
