ECL-210 Operation Manual
7.3. Optical Fiber Connection
Ensure that the optical connector on the optical fiber is clean, then pull down the safety cover on
the front of the ECL-210 unit and connect the optical fiber to the connector.
CAUTION
Before connecting an optical fiber, always clean the end face of the connector. In addi-
tion, we recommend that the socket on each ECL-210 unit is also periodically cleaned .
The cleaning procedure is explained in Section 10.3. If dirt is present on either the end
face of the connector or the socket the insertion loss will be increased. In addition, when
high optical powers are used there is the possibility that the connectors may be dam-
aged by scorching.
