Care, Cleaning, and Storage of the iCON iCS
Overview
Proper care and storage of the iCON iCS will extend the life of the instrument and maintain measurement accuracy. The iCS is rated IP54 for dust and splash resistance, but is not waterproof.
Cleaning
Lenses
- Use only a clean, soft lens cloth to wipe the camera and laser apertures.
- Do not use solvents, acetone, or abrasive materials on any optical surface.
- If the lens is dirty, blow off loose particles before wiping to avoid scratching.
Housing
- Wipe the instrument body with a slightly damp cloth.
- Do not submerge or rinse the instrument under running water.
- Dry the instrument thoroughly before storing.
After Use in Wet Conditions
- If the instrument has been exposed to rain or moisture, dry it completely before placing it in the carry case.
- Leave the case open in a warm, dry area until all moisture has evaporated.
- Do not store a wet instrument in a closed case — this can lead to corrosion and mold.
