Cleaning Optical Connectors
It is recommended that the optical connectors be cleaned at regular intervals using
the following materials:
C A U T I O N
Do not insert any tool or object into the IN or OUT ports of the instrument as damage
to or contamination of the optical fibre may result.
1
Recall Default settings (STORED SETTINGS 0) and remove the power from the
OmniBER 720.
2
Remove the adapters from the IN and OUT ports. Use an 11 mm spanner to
slacken the nut securing the adapter. On re-assembly tighten the nut using a
torque spanner to 1.5 Nm.
3
Using the blow brush with the brush removed blow through the ferrule of the
standard flexible connector and the adapter.
C A U T I O N
If the optical fibre of the fixed connector requires further cleaning this entails
disassembly of the module which should only be carried out by suitably trained
service personnel.
4
Apply some isopropyl alcohol to a piece of the cleaning paper and clean the barrel
of the adapter. Using a new piece of cleaning paper, clean the face of the adapter.
Repeat this operation, using a new piece of cleaning paper each time.
5
Lightly press the adhesive side of the tape provided against the front of the
adapter, then remove it quickly - repeat twice. This removes any particles of
cleaning paper which may be present.
6
Replace the adapters on the flexible connector.
