Maintenance of the Protective Window
To protect against contamination, the FPM is supplied with a protective glass in the beam path. The protective
glass is a wearing part and can be replaced if necessary.
Slight soiling of the protective glass can be carefully removed when cooled down. In case of heavy, non-
removable contamination or damage, the protective glass must be replaced by a new one. Either only the
protective glass or the protective glass cartridge including the protective glass can be replaced.
The protective window is coated with an anti-reflection coating and has low reflection values of less
than 1%. To avoid increased reflection values, use only original PRIMES protective windows.
CAUTION
Burns due to hot components
The absorber under the protective window is hot after a measurement! Unintentional touching
while changing the protective window can lead to burns.
Do not change the protective window/protective window cartridge immediately after a measurement.
Let the device cool down for an adequate period of time. The cooling time varies depending on
the laser power and the irradiation time.
NOTICE
Damaging/destroying the device
Contamination and fingerprints on the protective window can lead to damage or shattering or
splintering of the protective window during measuring operation.
Only replace the protective window in a dust-free environment.
Do not touch the protective window.
When exchanging the protective window wear powder-free latex gloves.
