Care And Maintenance - Techkon SpectroDrive Manual

3.2 Care and maintenance

SpectroDrive is a highly-precise optical instrument. It is designed to work in harsh,
industrial environments. However, it should be handled with care. Avoid mechanical
shocks, heat, dusty or humid environments!
Cleaning
The measurement head with the optical system is sealed against dust and dirt.
Nevertheless take care that the visible, open measurement aperture is always free of
dust. You can clean the measurement aperture with oil-free, clean compressed air and
a brush used for cleaning photographic equipment.
Clean the device casing only with a soft cloth and a non-aggressive plastic cleaner.
Never use alcohol or chemically aggressive solvent-based cleaners which can destroy
the surfaces.
The same procedure is valid for the white standard which is integrated in the charg-
ing console. A soft cloth made of micro-fibers is especially well suited for cleaning the
white ceramic tile.
If the white standard should be defective, it has to be replaced completely.
The charging contacts at the device and on the charging console can be kept clean
with a cotton bud soaked in metal contact spray.
Please do not stick any labels at the bottom of the device. This could lead to faulty
measurements, because the defined distance – which is important for the correct
optical field of depth – might not be maintained.
