Maintenance
• Handle your sensor and
accessories with care.
The following instructions
help you keep your sensor
operational.
• Keep the sensor dry.
Humidity and all types of
liquids or moisture can
contain minerals that
corrode electronic circuits.
• Do not use or store the
sensor in dusty or dirty
areas.
• Do not store the sensor in
high temperatures. High
temperatures may damage
the sensor.
• Do not store the sensor
in cold temperatures.
When the sensor warms
to its normal temperature,
moisture can form inside
the sensor and damage it.
• Do not attempt to
disassemble the sensor.
The warranty is not valid,
if the sensor has been
disassembled.
• Unauthorized modifi cations
may damage the sensor.
• Do not drop, knock, or
shake the sensor. Rough
handling can break it.
• Only use a soft, clean, dry
cloth to wipe the surface of
the sensor.
• Keep the sensor away
from magnets or magnetic
fi elds.
Important!
If the White reference target
becomes dirty or damaged,
reference measurements are
corrupted and the sensor
measurement results in
refl ectance/absorption are
unreliable.
Cleaning the Sensor
Occasionally the sensor
optics need cleaning. Use
compressed air to blow out
any dirt from the window.
The compressed air must be
clean and bottled, otherwise
oil or water may end up on
the window.

free compressed air in a
spray can for the window.

Do not use excessive air
pressure to clean up the
window.
If you want to wipe the

Proceed as follows:
1. Tip a small amount of
isopropanol alcohol on a
non-linting cloth.
