Optical Connector
To install a through adaptor, align the locating slot on the side of the
through adaptor with that on the instrument connector, and press it
on.
To remove an adaptor, press the ‘red’ button on the upper edge of
the connector housing then pull off the adaptor. It can be much
easier to pull off the adaptor with a test lead in place, since this gives
better grip.
Different styles of connector adaptor can be easily fitted by the user:
ST, SC, FC, MU, LC / F3000, E2000 / LSH, and LSA / DIN, SMA.
When not in use, keep the connectors covered and away from dust.
Do not touch connector tips with your fingers, since body oils and dirt
can impair connector performance.
The supplied standard adaptors have ceramic sleeves to avoid
connector metal dust contamination. This contamination can cause
connector failure. Ceramic connector sleeves also work better in cold
conditions.
CAUTION! Do not use damaged or incompatible connectors.
The talk set is either PC or APC connector specific. This is
determined when ordering the instrument, and can only be changed
at the factory.
CAUTION! The use of bare fiber adaptors with the talk set is not
recommended as permanent instrument damage may occur.
How to clean the optical connectors
Always clean the mating connector tip and ferrule before mating,
using approved materials.
CAUTION! Do not attempt to clean an optical interface with anything
hard that could scratch glass, or permanent instrument damage may
occur.
WARNING! Be aware of and observe relevant optical safety
requirement procedures. Disable all sources when cleaning optical
interfaces.
Preferred Procedures
To clean the interface without removing the adaptor, you can use a
“stick” style connector cleaner for 1.25 or 2.5 mm ferrules. This
cleans both the adaptor and end face in one operation.
Alternatively first remove the interchangeable adaptor to access the
glass interface. Then blow away any dust or dirt with compressed air.
If this is not sufficient, then clean the interface by rubbing a lint-free
lens cloth over the surface using small circular movements.
