8 Maintenance
The product does not require regular maintenance. It only requires occasional cleaning. It is however advisable to check the nominal data from time to time.
If you use a fiber-optic link (FOL) with FSMA connectors, clean these connectors
according to Chapter 8.2, "Maintaining Flawless FOL Connections", on page 25.
8.1 Cleaning
How to clean the product is described in "Cleaning the product" on page 7.
Do not use any liquids for cleaning. Cleaning agents, solvents (thinners, acetone),
acids and bases can damage the front panel labeling, plastic parts and display.
Maintenance
Maintaining Flawless FOL Connections
8.2 Maintaining Flawless FOL Connections
In FOL operation of K04 models with FSMA fiber-optic connectors (R&S OSP-Z201x
cables), keep these connectors clean to prevent errors in the communication between
RC module and satellite unit.
●
Handle all FSMA connectors with great care.
●
If disconnected, always cover all open male and female connectors with end caps.
Quality of fiber-optic connections
Before mating two fiber-optic connectors, clean and inspect both connectors.
Even if a connector appears clean to the naked eye, it can be contaminated. Therefore, use a special microscope to inspect the fiber-optic connectors:

Recommended cleaning equipment
●
Dedicated dry fiber cleaning wipes, cards, reels, or tape
●
Isopropyl or ethyl alcohol, 90% (vol.). Do not use other cleaning liquids, unless
explicitly suited for cleaning fiber-optic connectors.
To avoid absorption of water in a hygroscopic alcohol cleaning liquid, keep it in a
hermetically sealed bottle. Or use alcohol-moisturized wipes from sealed bags.
●
Ferrule cleaning sticks, diameter 2.5 mm, for fiber-connector end-face cleaning
●
Ultra-clean compressed air from a spray can (optional)
Maintenance
Maintaining Flawless FOL Connections
Recommended inspection equipment
●
Hand-held microscope for fiber-optic connectors, magnification at least 200:1
– We recommend using a video microscope, because it is inherently eye-safe.
– If you use a direct ocular microscope, ensure that no live signal is in the fiber.
Looking into a magnified live beam can damage your eye.
●
Optionally, feed the microscope's video output to a computer. Use image-analysis
software to check the cleaning results of your fiber-optic connectors.
To clean a fiber-optic connector
1. Remove the end cap from the connector.
2. If the connector's end face is open, gently clean it with a dry fiber wipe, card, reel
or tape.
To do so, follow the application instructions of your cleaning equipment.
If no instructions are available, apply a single linear swipe of the connector's end
face across a previously unused part of the cleaning surface.
3. If the connector's end face is inside a ferrule, gently clean it with a dry ferrule
cleaning stick.
To do so, follow the application instructions of your cleaning equipment.
If no instructions are available, insert a previously unused stick into the connector's
ferrule with low force. Carefully rotate the stick counter-clockwise by 4 to 5 revolutions. Remove the stick.
4. Gently clean each connector with an alcohol-moisturized cleaning tool.
To do so, follow the application instructions of your cleaning equipment.
26User Manual 1178.6733.02 ─ 03
R&S®OSP-B200R/B200S2
If no instructions are available, apply a small amount of alcohol to your cleaning
equipment. Proceed as described for dry cleaning (step 2 or step 3).
5. To remove alcohol and contamination from the connector's end face, repeat the dry
cleaning procedure.
Alternatively, blow the connectors dry with ultra-clean compressed air.
CAUTION! Risk of eye damage. If you inspect the cleaning result with a direct ocu-
6.
lar microscope, ensure that no live signal is in the fiber. Looking into a magnified
live beam can damage your eye.
Visually inspect the cleaning result in an eye-safe microscope (Figure 8-1).
Especially the region of the fiber core must meet criteria as specified by standard
IEC 61300-3-35.
7. If the connector is not clean, repeat the cleaning procedure.
8. Apply the entire cleaning procedure to the opposite connector, too.
9. Mate these two fiber-optic connectors.
10. Repeat the procedure for all connectors in a link.
