Remove the rubber cap from the optical sensor connector (ST connector) and keep the cap.
After measurements or for storing the transmitter the rubber cap should be put back on to
keep the optical sensor connector clean.

It is recommended to clean the ST connector with a dust free cleaning wipe or a
cleaning implement for ST connectors before the measurement. Make sure to insert
the cleaning implement into the inner part of the connector; then turn it three or four
times.
Remove the protective cap from the male plug on the optical fiber and insert it in the ST
connector of the Microx TX3. The ST plug has to be inserted and slightly turned clockwise to
fasten it. Be careful not to snap off the optical fiber; best hold the fiber between forefinger and
thumb at the bayonet lock of the male plug (see Fig. 6).
