Introduction

Cleaning optics

Identifying debris

Debris on the image sensor or optical components appears as a darkened area
or smudge on a camera image. Do not confuse this with a pixel defect which
appears as a distinct point.

Locating debris

First determine whether the debris is on the sensor glass, IR filter (if used), or
lens. The farther away the debris is from the sensor, the blurrier the debris
appears on a camera image.

Stream a live image from the camera using a uniform target, such as a piece of
paper. To determine if the debris is on the camera lens, rotate the lens indepen­dent of the camera. If the spot moves, the debris is on the lens. Otherwise, the
debris is on the IR filter (if used) or sensor glass.

Caution



Cleaning.

This product can be damaged by some volatile cleaning
agents. Avoid cleaning the image sensor unless absolutely
necessary. Please see instructions on optics cleaning in
this document.

Caution



Do not exceed environmental specifications.

See environmental specifications limits in the Specifications
section of this document. Special care must be taken to
maintain a reasonable operating temperature. If the camera
is operated in temperatures higher than the specified range,
the camera should be mounted on a heat sink.

Caution



AVT does not warranty against any physical damage to
the sensor/filter/protection glass or lenses. Use

utmost care when cleaning optical components.

Caution



Do not touch any optics with fingers. Oil from fingers
can damage fragile optical coatings.

Introduction

Color cameras with IR filter

Prosilica GC color cameras are equipped with an IR filter. With no lens or lens
cap on a camera, the IR filter is exposed and debris can accumulate on it. This is
the most probable location for debris. It should not be necessary to remove the
IR filter for cleaning. Clean the outside of the IR filter glass using the tech­niques explained in the next section.

If it is determined that the debris is on the inside surface of the filter glass, or
on the sensor glass, IR filter removal is necessary. Depending on the manufac­turing date of your Prosilica GC camera, the IR filter may be slot type, or pinhole
type. Slot type filters can be removed using a small flat head screw driver. Pin­hole type filters require a pin spanner wrench for removal.

Cleaning with air

Blow directly on the contaminated surface with moderate pressure, clean com­pressed air.

View a live image with the camera after blowing. If debris is still present, repeat
the process until it is determined that the particulate cannot be dislodged. If
this is the case, proceed to the contact cleaning technique.

Contact cleaning

Only use this method if the above air cleaning method does not sufficiently
clean the surface. Use 99% pure isopropyl alcohol and clean cotton swabs. Wet
the swab in the alcohol. Quickly wipe the optics in a single stroke. Prolonged
exposure of alcohol on the swab can cause the swab glue to loosen and transfer
to the optic glass. Do not reuse the same swab. Repeat this process until the
debris is removed. If this process fails to remove the debris, contact AVT.

Note



A pin spanner wrench suitable for IR filter removal is available
for purchase from AVT.
AVT P/N: E9020001

Caution



Do not exceed 6 bar (90 psi). If using canned air, approxi­mately ~ 4.8 bar (70 psi) when full, do not shake or tilt the
can, as extreme changes in temperature due to sudden cold
air can crack the optic glass.
