Line 228:
Line 228: − * When changing the lens, make sure the convex/domed side of the lens is facing upwards (towards the ceiling) -- "BUBBLE UP" − * Focus Lens should be cleaned once a week with Acetone or Denatured Alcohol − * You can clean the lens without removing it by using a long q-tip and alcohol. Make sure to not leave any residue and make sure lens is dry before testing. − + − * When using blue sided tape to test, be careful to not touch or smudge the mirrors and carefully clean with alcohol and q-tip mirors if they do get dirty. During pulse tests, you can try placing piece of aluminum foil sandwiched between two pieces of blue tape to prevent smoke/residue build up.
