The recommended soldering temperature is 260°C (500°F) with a maximum soldering time of 10 seconds. It's essential to follow the recommended soldering profile to prevent damage to the device.
Handle the device by the body, avoiding touching the sensitive optical surfaces. Store the device in a dry, dark place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Use anti-static packaging and handling materials to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
The recommended operating temperature range is -40°C to 100°C (-40°F to 212°F). Operating the device outside this range may affect its performance and reliability.
While the device is designed to operate in a normal humidity environment, it's not recommended for use in high-humidity environments (>80% RH) without proper protection. Consider using a hermetically sealed package or applying a moisture-resistant coating to prevent damage.
Use a soft, dry brush or a lint-free cloth to gently remove any debris or dust from the optical surface. Avoid using chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials that may damage the surface. For more thorough cleaning, use a mild soap solution and distilled water, followed by a dry nitrogen gas blow.
