Cleaning
Due to its compact design, the device is characterized by almost maintenance-free operation.
When used for the intended purpose, it is possible that the device may need to be cleaned from
time to time. Very clean optical surfaces (cover glass) are required for the consistent and repro-
ducible operation of the device.
The device requires cleaning if the captured frames resemble the following example. In order to
test the camera, capture a homogenous image (test target could be a white sheet of paper).
