contaminated, clean with alcohol or replace.

Replace the protection glass with the tweezers.
NOTE
Be certain to insert the protection glass into the recess provided for this purpose. No
contamination may be present beneath the protection glass (on the achromatic lens)!
-
Insert the fiber guide with the tweezers making certain that no contamination is
present, and that the guide is properly aligned (the two markings (3) must be adjacent
to one another).
-
Gently tighten the set screw (1).

Install the electrodes: see »Replacing the Electrodes« on page 6-18.
Cleaning the V-
grooves
The V-grooves must be cleaned if the fibers appear to be significantly out of alignment
after insertion, or if the error message “piezo offset error” or “fiber offset error” is displayed.
Clean the v-grooves by blowing them out with clean compressed air. Stubborn contamina-
tion can be removed carefully with a wooden toothpick with its tip slightly moistened in
alcohol.
DANGER
All alcohol must be removed from within close proximity to the electrodes after cleaning!
WARNING
Never use hard objects to clean the v-grooves!
