6.4 Cleaning Camera Connectors
Clean the four sections: receptacle (male) on the camera head, receptacle (female) on the CCU, and plugs (male and female) on
both ends of the

ber cable. The cleaning method for male connectors slightly differs from that for female connectors. There is no
difference between receptacles and plugs in the cleaning method.

OPS Series Connectors
The following explains how to clean Ferrules using a Tajimi OPS series
¿
ber cable plug (female) as an example.
1
Loosen the screw at the center of the connector
with a fl at-blade screwdriver or a coin.
After turned 9 or 10 turns counterclockwise, the screw
will come out. The screw is not removed because it is
attached to the top.
2
Pull the screw and remove the top from the
connector.
3
Wipe the Ferrule with a cotton swab dampened
with alcohol.
Caution:
- When you wipe the Ferrule, move the cotton swab
straight in a way in which you brush the dust off the
Ferrule. Do not wipe back and forth or in a circle.
Doing so may spread the dirt instead of removing it.
- Do not carelessly blow your breath on the Ferrule.
4
After wiping the Ferrule with alcohol, wipe the
Ferrule with a dry cotton swab.
5
Make sure that the dirt is removed.
Use a loupe to examine the Ferrule.
6
If the Ferrule is free from dirt, align the top with the connector guide and put it back in the connector.
Be sure to push the top securely into the connector.
7
Tighten the screw with a fl at-blade screwdriver or a coin.
Camera male connectors have no “top” regardless of whether they are receptacles or plugs. For male connectors, therefore, steps 1, 2,
and 6 above are not required.
