Never try to open the instrument and clean the optical block by
yourself, because it is easy to scratch optical components, and cause
them to be misaligned.
How to clean instruments with a recessed
lens interface
W A R N I N G
For instruments with a deeply recessed lens interface (for example the
Agilent 81637B and 81634B Power Sensors) do NOT follow this
procedure. Alcohol and compressed air could damage your lens even
further.
Keep your dust and shutter caps on, when your instrument is not in
use. This should prevent it from getting too dirty. If you must clean
such instruments, please refer the instrument to the skilled personnel
of Agilent’s service team.
Preferred Procedure
Use the following procedure on most occasions.
1
Blow away any dust or dirt with compressed air. If this is not
sufficient, then
2
Clean the interface by rubbing a new, dry cotton-swab over the
surface using a small circular movement.
3
Blow away any remaining lint with compressed air.
Procedure for Stubborn Dirt
Use this procedure particularly when there is greasy dirt on the
interface, and using the procedure for light dirt is not sufficient. Using
isopropyl alcohol should be your last choice for recessed lens
interfaces because of the difficulty of cleaning out any dirt that is
washed to the edge of the interface:
1
Moisten a new cotton-swab with isopropyl alcohol.
2
Clean the interface by rubbing the cotton-swab over the surface
using a small circular movement.
3
Take a new, dry soft-tissue and remove the alcohol, dissolved
sediment and dust, by rubbing gently over the surface using a small
circular movement.
4
Blow away any remaining lint with compressed air.
