This Article will detail the materials and procedure required to effectively clean your sensor’s lenswindow.

Required Materials: 

  1. Clean microfiber cloths 

  2. Warm water

  3. Mild liquid dishwashing soap 

  4. Spray bottle with clean water 

  5. Spray bottle with mild soapy water. 

  6. 99% Isopropyl alcohol

The lens window is made from polycarbonate and may be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol. If your sensor has layers of mud or bugs on the lenswindow, use the spray bottle to loosen any debris.

Info

  • Avoid using hard water when cleaning the sensor. 

  • Do not wipe dirt directly from the sensor. Spray it off with warm water first. 

  • Avoid getting water into the power connector

  • Do not use acetone to clean the window. It will embrittle the polycarbonate.

Procedure:

  1. If necessary, use the 99% isopropyl alcohol and a clean microfiber towel to wipe away bugs / debris from the sensor. 

  2. Spray the sensor with warm, mildly-soapy water and gently wipe the sensor with a clean microfiber towel. Wipe along the curve of the sensor, not top-to-bottom (think moving with the grain). 

  3. Spray the sensor with clean water to rinse off the soap and dry with a second microfiber towel.

  4. Enjoy your clean lenswindow!
