Fixture Maintenance / Cleaning:
Always follow recommended cleaning and handling procedures when cleaning the WaveStream lens. It can be
permanently damaged if cleaned or handled improperly.
Before cleaning a WaveStream lens, take time to inspect the surfaces carefully in order to determine the type and
severity of the contaminants. The process of cleaning the lens can result in damage to the optical surface if repeated
multiple times.
For WaveStream lens with multiple contaminants, the order in which they are removed can be important. For instance,
if a WaveStream lens is contaminated with oil and dust, it is possible that wiping the oil off first will scratch the optical
surface as the dust is drug along the surface by the wipe

Cleaning Methods:

Blowing off the surface of an optic
Dust and other loose contaminants should be blown off before any other cleaning technique is employed. Using
compressed air over the entire lens is recommended to prevent static buildup.
When using compressed air, hold the can upright throughout the procedure. Start the flow of air with the nozzle pointed
away from the lens. Hold the can approximately 6" from the optic and use short bursts. Move the nozzle of the com-
pressed air can over the optic with the nozzle at a grazing angle to the optical surface in a constant one-way direction.
Due to the non-contact and solvent-free nature of the cleaning method, it should be used as a first step in cleaning all
optics.
Additional Cleaning Methods
Fingerprints and large dust particles can be removed by gently wiping the surface with a clean microfiber cloth. If
additional cleaning is required a mild solution of distilled water and Dawn® dish soap (between 1:20 and 1:10 parts Dawn
to distilled water, respectively) could be used to wash the lens. The WaveStream lens should not remain wet any longer
than necessary to remove the contaminants. Dry off the surface with deionized air. Avoid pooling of water as that tends
to leave streaks on the optical surface. This method is only recommended as a last resort as it increases the risk of dam-
aging the lens.
