abrasives, harsh chemicals, or solvents.

Before Cleaning

• Make.sure.the.power.is.off.to.the.instrument.
• Make.sure.the.laser.source.is.off.when.cleaning.any.optical.connectors.
• Make sure AC power is disconnected.

Cleaning Interfaces and Connectors

Interfaces.must.be.kept.clean..Isopropyl.alcohol.may.be.used.to.clean.the.optical.output..Always.
replace the protective dust caps when the unit is not being used, and keep the protective dust caps
clean. In addition, flanges must be cleaned periodically.
Notes:
• The.diameter.of.optic.core.is.9.um,.and.the.diameter.of.dust.and.other.particulates.ranges.
from 1/100 to 1/1000 um. Dust and other particulates can cover part of the optical end and
therefore.degrade.the.performance.of.the.instrument.
• In addition, power density may burn dust into optical fiber and induce further damage
(for example, 0 dBm optic power may produce about 16000000 W/m*m power density in
single mode fiber). If this happens, the measurement will be inaccurate and damage will be
irreversible.

Tools for Cleaning Interfaces and Connectors

• Optical fiber cleaner (for cleaning optical connectors)
• Optical fiber cleaning rod (for cleaning optical outputs)
• Optical fiber cleaning tissue (for cleaning optical interfaces)
• Isopropyl.alcohol
• Paper.tissue
• Cleaning brush
• Cleaning swabs
• Condensed air

Procedure for Cleaning Interfaces and Connectors

1.. Unscrew.the.adapter.from.the.bulkhead.
2. Carefully clean the bulkhead and the inside of the adapter.
3.. Screw.the.adapter.back.onto.the.bulkhead.
