Maintenance and
Troubleshooting
There are no user-serviceable components in the FLS-2600,
notwithstanding the routine maintenance described in this section. The
FLS-2600 has been designed to require minimum maintenance and
provide reliable operation for many years.
General Maintenance
To help ensure long, trouble-free operation,
➤
Keep the FLS-2600 free of dust.
➤
Do not to spill liquids on or into the unit. If the unit does get wet, turn
off the power immediately and let the unit dry completely.
➤
Clean the FLS-2600 casing with a slightly damp (with water) cloth.
Cleaning Optical Ports
Regular cleaning of the optical ports will help maintain optimum
performance. The cleaning swabs supplied with EXFO test equipment are
specially designed to clean inside the ports without having to disassemble
the unit. No cleaning solution is required as the tips are used dry.
1.
Take a swab from the package without touching the soft end.
2.
Push and rotate the connector adapter counter-clockwise and remove
it. You have now access to the ferrule inside the connector interface.
3.
Slowly insert the swab into the ferrule (a slight clockwise rotating
movement may help).
4.
Applying moderate pressure, turn the swab one full turn.
5.
Continue to turn as you withdraw the swab.
6.
Replace the connector adapter, push and rotate it clockwise until it
clicks into place.
7.
Dispose of the used swab after five uses or as soon as it is visibly dirty.
