Introduction

Cleaning with air

Blow directly on the contaminated surface with moderate pressure, clean com-

pressed air.

View a live image with the camera after blowing. If debris is still present, repeat

the process until it is determined that the particulate cannot be dislodged. If

this is the case, proceed to the contact cleaning technique.

Contact cleaning

Only use this method if the above air cleaning method does not sufficiently

clean the surface. Use 99% pure isopropyl alcohol and clean cotton swabs. Wet

the swab in the alcohol. Quickly wipe the optics in a single stroke. Prolonged

exposure of alcohol on the swab can cause the swab glue to loosen and transfer

to the optic glass. Do not reuse the same swab. Repeat this process until the

debris is removed. If this process fails to remove the debris, contact AVT.

Note



A pin spanner wrench suitable for IR filter removal is available

for purchase from AVT.

Caution



Do not exceed 6 bar (90 psi). If using canned air, approxi-

mately ~ 4.8 bar (70 psi) when full, do not shake or tilt the

can, as extreme changes in temperature due to sudden cold

air can crack the optic glass.
