CAUTION –  

The scanner aperture window has to be perfectly clean to avoid errors in measurement. Clean the glass pane regularly with the provided cleaning kit:

  • Switch off the scanner.

  • Washing hands is necessary in order to avoid grease on the cleaning tissue.

  • Use gloves to avoid grease on the glass.

  • Use only little amounts of the provided detergent to clean the glass.

  • Do not use pressure to clean the glass, do not rub.

  • Use the lens tissue for wiping in a circular motion from the center to the edge until there is only a thin film of detergent visible.

  • Use a new lens tissue for drying the pane, wipe in a circular motion.

  • If any smears from cleaning are visible against the back light, repeat the procedure.

Use only the provided cleaning material.

TIP –  

  • Do not touch the side of the paper that is used for cleaning with your fingers.

  • Do not reuse tissues that have been used before.

  • Only use lint free lens tissues.

  • Do not use air from the pneumatic power system as this can be slightly oily.

Fogging of the optic

If the scanner is cooler than the ambient temperature the scanner’s glass, or even the inner optic system might fog.

TIP –  

  • Avoid large temperature differences.

  • Slowly acclimate the scanner to the ambient temperature.

  • Do not use anti-fog products.

Damp products
