Do not put pressure on the lens paper. In order to prevent scratches, if the mirror surface is dirty, you can fold the lens paper in half 2 to 3 times, and repeat the above steps until the mirror surface is clean. It is forbidden to drag the dry lens paper directly on the mirror surface. Steps to clean the lens with a cotton swab: first use a spray gun to blow off the dust on the lens; then use a clean cotton swab to remove the dirt; dip a new cotton swab into high-purity alcohol or acetone, and make a circular motion from the center of the lens to scrub the lens, after a week Change another clean cotton swab and repeat the above operation until the lens is clean; observe the cleaned lens until there is no dirt or spots on the surface of the lens; place the cleaned lens on the frame according to the above method.

Proper storage of optical lenses can keep the quality of the lenses intact. The storage environment temperature is 10-30°C, the lens should not be placed in a freezer or similar environment, otherwise it will be dewed and frosted when taken out, and the lens will be easily damaged; the storage environment temperature should not be higher than 30°C, otherwise it will affect the coating on the surface of the lens . .Store the lens in a box. The lens should be placed in a vibration-free environment, otherwise it will easily cause lens deformation and affect the performance of the lens.

5. Replacement of wearing parts. When assembling a new ceramic body, align the two positioning piles with the positioning holes of the induction seat, flatten and straighten the ceramic body by hand, and then tighten the pressure ring. After the ceramic body is pressed, the nozzle should be tightened. If the above installation requirements are not met, the components of the sensor base module may be damaged and the system may not work properly.
