Names and Descriptions of Parts
Senko’s Smart Cleaner is composed of a replaceable cartridge containing the cleaning string and the retaining handle
which holds it. The handle unit and the cartridge are sold as one unit, while replacement cartridges may also be purchased
separately.
CARTRIDGE
The cartridge is composed of the guide which positions the
cleaner on the ferrule end face and also contains the cleaning
string, the string reel
(not shown in the figure),
and guide lock
which holds the guide firmly in the retaining handle. One
cartridge can perform about 750 cleaning operations. A blue
tape appears in the viewing window to indicate that it is time to
replace the cartridge. There are three kinds of cartridges. The
type being used can be confirmed by the display on the guide
(MU, LC or SC, FC, ST, E-2000).
RETAINING HANDLE
The retaining handle is composed of the slider mechanism that
advances the cleaning string while rotating the head, the main
body, the pressure spring
(not show in the figure),
and the head
attachment. The concave part for the body connects with the
concave part in the cartridge. Because the attachment for SC,
FC, ST and E-2000 use and for MU and LC use is fixed to the
slider, the retaining handle differ by the MU, LC type and the
SC, FC, ST, E-2000 type.
