8. Maintenance Instructions
8.1 Scope
This chapter deals with preventive maintenance, describes possible faults in
detector operation and indicates corrective measures. Ignoring these instructions
may cause problems with the detector and may invalidate the warranty. Whenever
a unit requires service, please contact the manufacturer or its authorized
distributor for assistance.
8.2 Maintenance Instrumentation and Personnel
The detectors’ maintenance requires ordinary tools and qualified personnel, who
should be familiar with local codes and practices.
8.3 Preventive Maintenance Procedures
The detector must be kept as clean as possible. The viewing window and the

The frequency of cleaning operations depends upon the environmental conditions

recommendations. Use of the optional AIR SHIELD Model 20/20-920 is highly
recommended and will help to keep the window clean and prevent dirt from
accumulating on the window.

including lens cleaning.
