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. |
