Preparing the ISS for Installation

Note:

If the ISS is a Plus model and contains UV and solar sensors, do not touch the small white diffusers

 

on top of the sensors. Oil from skin reduces their sensitivity. If you are concerned that you have

 

touched the diffusers at any time during the installation, clean the UV diffuser using ethyl alcohol

 

with a soft cloth. When cleaning the UV diffuser, DO NOT use rubbing or denatured alcohols

 

because they can affect accuracy of the sensor readings. Ethyl alcohol can be procured through an

 

industrial or laboratory supply store. Clean the solar diffuser with a soft damp cloth.
