Sensor Cleaning
AP-LiDAR-One features an Ouster OS1 LiDAR sensor with a window made from polycarbonate. Based on the sensor usage you may see dust, bugs and/or layers of mud/debris on the window. Before you attempt to clean your sensor, please read the instructions below on best practices.
Required Materials
Few clean microfiber cloths.
Warm water.
Mild liquid dishwashing soap.
Spray bottle with clean water.
Spray bottle with mild soapy water.
99% Isopropyl alcohol.
Avoid getting water into the power connector.
Avoid using hard water when cleaning the sensor.
Do not use acetone to clean the window. It will embrittle the polycarbonate.
Do not wipe dirt directly from the sensor. Spray it off with warm water first.
Procedure
Using the 99% isopropyl alcohol and a clean microfiber towel, wipe away bugs/mud/debris from the sensor.
Spray the sensor with warm, mild-soapy water and gently wipe the sensor with a clean microfiber towel. Wipe along the curve of the sensor, not top-to-bottom (think moving with the grain).
Spray the sensor with clean water to rinse off the soap and dry with a second microfiber towel.
