Position Sensor
Regularly inspect the Position Sensor for cleanliness. The Position Sensor and particularly the
illuminator filters and lenses, should be cleaned only when necessary. The frequency of cleaning
must be determined by the user. This may include "in-use" cleaning.
Caution!
Use only 70% isopropanol and a lens cleaning solution formulated for multi-coated lenses (for example, AR66) to
clean the Position Sensor. Other fluids may cause damage to the illuminator filters. Do not use any paper
products for cleaning. Paper products may cause scratches on the illuminator filters.
To clean the Position Sensor, follow the procedure detailed below:
1. Remove dust from each illuminator filter and lens, using a photographic lens duster (brush).
Gently wipe the surface in one direction only, by pulling the brush across the surface.
2. Gently wipe the illuminator filters and lenses with disinfectant wipes containing 70%
isopropanol. Continue cleaning the remainder of the Position Sensor, taking care not to wipe
