Cleaning and maintenance

NOTE!

• Use the below specified methods of maintenance only.
• The KT series thermal imaging cameras do not comprise any parts serviceable by the user. Do not attempt to dismantle or modify the camera on your own. Opening the instrument voids the warranty.

Camera enclosure – all surfaces, except for optical elements of the camera, can be cleaned with a soft and moist cloth with generally available mild detergents. Do not use any solvents or cleaning agents that could scratch the enclosure (powder, paste, etc.). During cleaning, the camera must be turned off.
Due to the applied anti-reflective coating, optical lens are the most sensitive and at the same time the most expensive part of the camera (the lens is of key importance to radio-metric capabilities of the infrared system). Therefore it is important to close the protective lens cover after each use of the camera. Optical surfaces should be cleaned only, when they are visibly fouled. Do not touch exposed surfaces of optical lens with fingers, be-cause fouling left with fingerprints can be harmful to coatings and glass of the lens.
Chemical agents must not be used for cleaning the optical viewfinder, and particularly op-tics and accessories of the camera. Use a clean, dry and soft cloth for cleaning the body of the viewfinder; for cleaning the lens, use only the supplied lens cleaning cloth.

Storing

When storing the instrument, observe the following guidelines:

• make sure the camera and its accessories are dry,
• when storing the camera for a prolonged time, remove the batteries,
• allowed are storage temperatures specified in technical specifications,
• in order to avoid complete discharging of rechargeable batteries during prolonged storage, charge them once in a while.

Dismantling and disposal

Used-up electrical or electronic equipment must be collected selectively, i.e. must not be mixed with waste of other types.
Used-up electronic equipment must be delivered to an appropriate collection centre in ac-cordance with regulations related to used-up electrical or electronic equipment.
Before delivering the equipment to the collection centre do not attempt to dismantle any of its parts.
NOTE!
Follow local regulations related to disposing of packaging, used-up batteries and rechargeable batteries.
