Care & Maintenance

Cleaning the exterior

The QSI 500/600 Series cameras are machined from high quality 6061 aluminum with a

very durable anodized finish that resists most scratches and fingerprints. Use a soft cloth to

remove dirt or spots from the exterior surface of the camera.

Installing or removing color filters

Always remove the color filter wheel when installing or removing filters. To change filters or

replace the color filter wheel the front cover of the camera must be removed. Place the

camera face up on a stable surface. Using the included 3/32‖ Allen wrench, carefully

remove the screws holding the camera cover to the camera body. Lift the cover straight up

to expose the color filter wheel.

Remove the color filter wheel by

unscrewing the screw in the

center of the filter wheel.

Carefully lift out the color filter

wheel.

The standard color filter wheel

accepts 1 ¼‖ mounted filters.

Any filter can be screwed into

any of the 5 or 8 available

positions.

To replace the color filter wheel a

slight pressure must be applied

with the outside O-ring against

the capstan motor that drives the

color filter wheel. Carefully line

up the center screw and press

the filter wheel O-ring gently

against the capstan motor.

Lining up a filter or empty filter position over the shutter opening can help to achieve the

proper alignment.

Screw in the center screw until it is quite snug. 5 inch-pounds or more of force if you have a

torque wrench. Stainless steel screws naturally "lock" with anodized aluminum. The screw

is tight enough when you can hear the screw "break free" when it is loosened.
