How to clean the Healthy Climate Monitor

1. Cleaning supplies:

   • gloves;

   • lint-free cloths, for example yellow viscose cleaning cloth and dry tea towel;

   • warm water;

   • all-purpose cleaner or St Marc in the water.

2. Disconnect the cable connectors:

   • the power cable on top of the HCM;

   • the temperature and humidity sensor on the bottom;

   • seal these plugs with the caps;

   • (if the cables were already off: clean under the plugs too).

3. Loosen the carabiner and chain

4. Open the adapter's red protective box and remove the adapter

5. Cleaning. Clean all the parts one by one:

   • squeeze the cleaning cloth well before cleaning the sensors (no water in the sensors!);

   • first wipe off all the dust;

   • then, with a warm, well-wrung cloth, scrub off the fly shit from the HCM .. also in the grooves, air intakes, cracks;

   • wipe the infra-red lights and the camera lens/lenses dry with the tea towel;

   • the chain, carabiners and red protective box of the adapter may be submerged in your bucket, the rest may not!

6. Let everything dry in a dry place for 5 days (leave the case open)

   • Only 5 days of downtime is needed when used consecutively on the same species.

Note: In case of extreme soiling, we can clean the HCM for you.

• Mail, app or call us for an appointment.
