Maintenance and cleaning

Cleaning the camera

CAUTION

If you do not obey these Cautions, damage to the equipment can occur.

  • Do not use strong cleaning solutions.

  • Do not expose the equipment to continuous water flow, high-pressure spray, or immersion in water.

  • Do not apply direct and/or highly compressed air to the microphones.

Camera chassis

To clean the camera chassis, do the following:

  1. Turn off the camera.

  2. Dampen a cloth with water or mild soapy water.

  3. Squeeze the cloth to remove excess water.

  4. Carefully wipe all surfaces clean. Do not wipe dust cover covering the microphone array.

Dust cover covering the microphone array

The dust cover protects the microphone array and is a sensitive component.

  • Do not clean the dust cover directly, as this may damage the microphones. For assistance, contact your distributor or Flir Customer Support.

  • If cleaning is considered necessary, use only indirect, low-pressure air from a distance to gently remove particles from the acoustic mesh.

  • The dust cover is customer replaceable. Instructions are available on the Customer Help Portal. Replacement can also be arranged through the FLIR Service Center.

  • If the dust cover needs replacement, contact your distributor or Flir Customer Support to order a new dust cover.

  • Flir takes no responsibility for any damage that occurs as a result of the user’s attempt to clean the microphone array or replace the dust cover.

Calibration

The camera undergoes calibration during production. No further re-calibration is necessary.
