Maintenance
Appendix D — Maintenance
The SIMATIC MV340 provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care.
Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic checks ensure
dependable operation.
Cleaning the SIMATIC MV340 Window
The SIMATIC MV340 has a clear, anti-reflective coated optical window that protects the
SIMATIC MV340 illumination system and optics. The window should be clean to allow optimum
performance. The SIMATIC MV340 uses technology that is much like a digital camera, and
marks or debris on the window will interfere with image captures. Avoid touching the
coated surface, as fingerprints may impede decode performance.
In many cases the window can be cleaned by wiping with a lint-free lens cloth to remove
dust, debris, and fingerprints. Care should be taken not to apply too much pressure, as a
trapped particle may scratch the window.
If cleaning of the window becomes necessary, follow this procedure:
• Use a minimal amount of Isopropyl Alcohol to dampen. Do not saturate the surface, as
this may cause streaking.
• Drag the moistened cotton swab, cotton ball, or soft, clean cloth across the coated surface.
Do not rub.
• Repeat this procedure until no contaminants remain.
Note: Many products designed for cleaning plastic lens eyewear, such as pre-moistened
towelettes or lens cloths, can be used to clean the SIMATIC MV340 window.
Cleaning the SIMATIC MV340 Housing
If the housing becomes dirty, clean it with a soft, non-abrasive cloth that has been moistened
with water. A mild detergent may be used to clean the housing, but the detergent should
then be rinsed away with a water-moistened cloth.
Caution: Do not submerge the SIMATIC MV340 in water. The housing is not watertight.
Do not use abrasive cloths or tissues on the SIMATIC MV340 window — abrasive cloths or
tissues may scratch the window.
