MINI-OTE ADAPTER/CONNECTOR CLEANING PROCEDURE
Cleaning kit (FHD-ACC-CLNKIT1) is required for this procedure. Use the following procedure to
clean the Mini OTE optical port adapters and the internal connectors:
11.5.1 Using a 216C key tool, unscrew the optical port dust cap from the optical port adapter.
11.5.2 Locate the dry swabs that are provided with the connector/adapter cleaning kit.
11.5.3 Insert a dry swab into the adapter as shown in Figure 20.
Note:
Do not apply alcohol to the swab or the adapter.
11.5.4 While applying light pressure against the connector end-face, rotate the dry swab 360º three times.
11.5.5 Dispose of the dry swab after use.
11.5.6 When the connector end-face and adapter ferrule are clean, reinstall the optical port dust cap and tighten using
the 216C key tool.
11.6.0 O-Ring Lubrication
11.6.1 The O-rings used on the hardened connector and on the optical port dust cap are lubricated when shipped
from
the factory to prevent damage during installation.
11.6.2 If the O-rings become excessively dry, they may require additional lubrication to prevent damage. Remove t
he
O-rings from the connector or dust cap and apply a small amount of lubricant directly to each ring. Then reinstall
the O-rings on the connector or dust cap. Apply only the recommended O-ring lubricant (MST-ACC-LUBE1).
