Appendix H Clean of LiDAR
H.1 Attention
Before cleaning the RS-LiDAR, please read through this entire Appendix F. Otherwise,
improper handling can permanently damage it.
When the sensor is used in a harsh environment, it is necessary to clean it in time to keep
its performance.
H.2 Required Materials
(1) Clean microfiber cloths
(2) Mild, liquid dish-washing soap
(3) Spray bottle within warm, clean water
(4) Solution of Isopropyl alcohol
(5) Clean gloves
H.3 Clean Method
If the sensor is just covered by dust, use a clean microfiber cloth with a little isopropyl
alcohol to clean the sensor directly, then dry with another clean microfiber cloth.
If the sensor is caked with mud or bugs, use a spray bottle with clean, warm water to
loosen any debris from it. Do not wipe dirt directly off the sensor. Doing so may abrade the
surface. Then use warm, mildly-soapy water and gently wipe the sensor with a clean
microfiber cloth. Wipe the ring lens gently along the curve of the sensor, not top-to-bottom.
To finish, spray the sensor with clean water to rinse off any remaining soap (if necessary,
use isopropyl alcohol and a clean microfiber cloth to clean any remaining dirt from the
sensor), then dry with another clean microfiber cloth.
