WARNING
!
Eye damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe
is used to stare at an energized fiber end.
2.
Inspect the fiber endface with a fiberscope.
3.
If the fiber endface is clean, return to the installation instructions; if the connector is dirty, proceed
to the dry cleaning instructions below.
Dry Cleaning Procedure
If you are using cartridge- or pocket-style dry cleaning tools, follow the manuf
acturer’s directions. If you
are using lint-free wipes, follow these steps:
1.
Fold the lint-free wipe four to eight times into a square, taking care to avoid touching the cleaning
surface of the wipe.
2.
Lightly wipe the fiber tip in the central portion of the lint-free wipe.
CAUTION:
Do not scrub the fiber. Excessive rubbing will leave scratches.
3.
Repeat the wiping action on another clean section of the wipe or a new wipe.
4.
Inspect the connector again with the fiberscope.
5.
If the connection is clean, return to the installation steps; if the connector is still dirty, proceed to
the wet cleaning instructions.
Wet Cleaning Procedure
Using 99.8% isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes, follow these steps to wet clean the fiber:
1.
Fold the wipe into a square, about 4 to 8 layers thick.
2.
Moisten one section of the lint-free wipe with one drop of 99.8% alcohol, ensuring that a portion of
the wipe remains dry.
3.
Lightly wipe the fiber end in the alcohol-moistened portion of the lint-free wipe.
4.
Immediately repeat the wiping action on the dry section of the wipe, removing any residual alcohol.
5.
Inspect the fiber endface again, and if necessary, repeat the wet cleaning with another clean section
of the lint-free wipe.
CAUTION
!
Do not scrub the fiber. Excessive rubbing will leave scratches.
6.
Dry clean any remaining residue, and then inspect the connector again.
7.
If the contamination persists, repeat the dry and wet cleaning procedure until the endface is clean.
If the fiber end still remains dirty after repeated cleaning attempts, call Customer Service for further
instructions; if the fiber end is clean, return to the installation instructions.
