11.2 Maintenance and cleaning
by users
11.2.1 Routine (to be carried out
regularly)
11.2.1.1 Cleaning the glass
Water should be used, or a liquid detergent that will
not generate a hazardous situation.
11.2.1.2 Cleaning the germanium window
Remove the protective grid and spacer unscrewing
the 4 socket flat cap screws on the front of the
enclosure using 2mm no sparking hex wrench.
Fig. 136
Use neutral soap diluted with water. Take extra care
not to scratch or damage the outer surface treated
with carbon coating. Damage to this coating could
interfere with the transparency of the surface to
infrared light. Do not use ethyl alcohol, solvents,
hydrogenated hydrocarbons, strong acids or alkalis.
Using these products will irreparably damage the
germanium surface.
Once done cleaning, reassemble the spacer and the
grid.
11.2.1.3 Cleaning the device
This should be done regularly. If a layer of dust
accumulates on the outside of the housing, it should
never be more than 5mm thick. The device should be
cleaned using a damp cloth; compressed air must not
be used. Maintenance frequency will depend on the
type of environment in which the housing is used.
11.2.1.4 Inspecting the cables
The cables should not show signs of damage or wear,
which could generate hazardous situations. In this
case extraordinary maintenance is necessary.
