Cleaning Instructions
To prolong the life of the optical connectors on
your module and those connected to your module,
observe the following handling and cleaning
instructions.
CAUT ION. When using, disconnecting, or
connecting optical connectors, always follow
the precautions described in the product
manuals to prevent damage from
electrosta tic discharg e (ESD).
Small dust particles and oils can easily
contaminate optical connectors and reduce or
block the signal. Take care to preserv e the
integrity of your connectors by keeping them free
of contamination.
CAUT ION. To prevent loss of optical power or
damage to the optica l connectors, keep the
connectors clean at all times. To reduce the
need for cleaning, alwa ys keep the
connectors covered with protective caps
when not in use. Use only high-quality
cleaning supplies that are nonabra sive and
leave no residue.
Equipment Required
Use thefollowing items to clean the optical
connectors:
■ Cleaner tape dispenser (included with this kit)
■ Canned compressed gas (Do not use com-
pressed air from an in-house facility, as oil in
the system may contaminate the connector.)
Procedure
To clean the optical connectors, refer to the
illustrations and follow thesesteps:
1. Advance the tape by g rasping the tape and
pulling in a new section to the w iping surface.
(Seethefigureabove-left.)
2. Grasp the connector to be cleaned w ith one
hand, being careful not to touch the fiber core.
3. Hold the cleaner tape dispenser firmly with
yourotherhand.
4. Wipe the connector tip once across the
ex posed tape surface, being careful to use a
firm, s teady motion. (See f ig ure above-right. )
Keep thetip nearly perpendicular, but slightly
tilted up to the tape surface, for optimal
results. When the ti p is kept tilted this way, it
will move smoothly and easily across the tape
without dragging on it or tearing it.
5. If a piece of lint, dust or any light contaminant
is left behind, apply a short burst of
compressed gas to the c onnector tip.
6. Carefully attach the connector to the
instrument or cable, and check for proper
operation.
