Cleaning The Sensor Window - Dalsa Piranha HN HN-80-08k40-R User Manual

Cleaning the Sensor Window

1. Use compressed air to blow off loose particles. This step alone is usually sufficient to clean the
sensor window.
2. If further cleaning is required, use a lens wiper moistened with alcohol or acetone.
3. We recommend using lint-free ESD-safe cloth wipers that do not contain particles that can scratch
the window. The Anticon Gold 9"x 9" wiper made by Milliken is both ESD safe and suitable for
class 100 environments. Another ESD acceptable wiper is the TX4025 from Texwipe.
4. An alternative to ESD-safe cloth wipers is Transplex swabs that have desirable ESD properties.
There are several varieties available from Texwipe. Do not use regular cotton swabs, since these
can introduce charge to the window surface.
5. Wipe the window carefully and slowly.
6. When cleaning long linear sensors, it may be easier to wipe along the width (i.e. as opposed to
the length) of the sensor.
