AccuLazr™ AL5010 Product Line Manual Maintenance 109
Cleaning the Exit Window
WARNING: Shut down the reader before performing this maintenance
task. Do not stare into the reader’s exit window at the laser light. Avoid
direct eye exposure. The laser light level does not constitute a health
hazard, however staring at the laser light for prolonged periods could result
in eye damage.
WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts inside the AL5010. No
internal components of the AL5010 are field replaceable units (FRUs).
Opening the unit will potentially expose the user to emitted Class 3 laser
radiation, high voltage, and could reduce the effectiveness of the device’s
IP rating. DO NOT REMOVE the faceplate from the scan head enclosure.
Opening the AL5010 will also void the factory warranty.
CAUTION: CLASS 3R LASER RADIATION. WHEN OPEN AVOID
DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE. See warning above.
CAUTION: Never apply cleaning solution directly to the exit window.
Always apply the solution to a cloth, and then the cloth to the window. Do
not use any chemical on the reader that is unsafe for plastics, such as
benzene, acetone, or similar products.
The exit window cleaning procedure may be performed without removing the
reader from the mounting structure if it is possible to do so.
1. Turn off the reader’s lasers.
2. Follow the exterior cleaning procedure before cleaning the exit window.
3. Check the exit window surface for any dust, dirt, or smudges. If the
window needs to be cleaned, proceed to Step 4.

5. Apply the cleaning solution to a cotton swab or lint-free cloth.

dry, soft, lint-free cloth or lens paper.
