Remove and Replace the Phosphor
Perform the following procedure to remove and replace the phosphor:
1. Remove the foam disk and throw it away. This foam disk is NOT reusable.
2. Slide the phosphor disk off of the fiber optic. Sliding is easier and less likely to
damage the disk than trying to lift the phosphor plate from the fiber optic.
3. Place the phosphor disk in a clean, dry container and store it in a secure location.
4. Using a lens tissue or a lint free cloth moistened with acetone, clean the top of the
fiber optic.
5. Position the new phosphor disk so the matte side is on the fiber optic and the shiny
side is facing away from the fiber optic. See
.
6. Gently place the NEW foam disk on top of the shiny side of the phosphor.
