3. A dirty or damaged lens may prevent the splicer from performing a
splice or may produce incorrect splice loss information.
Cleaning is best performed once a month. Shorten the cleaning cycle
interval if dirt is prominent.
7.2.4 Cleaning the V-grooves
Dirt on the V-grooves or fiber clamps will offset the alignment of the fibers
or cause stress points on the glass, making the fiber weak.
1. Prepare a piece of fiber and cleave it approximately 10mm from the
end.
2. Hold the fiber at a 45° angle.
3. Run the cleaved end back and forth along each groove to scrape off any
debris.
If the V-grooves are extremely contaminated, it may also be necessary to
wipe the grooves with a cotton swab soaked with denatured alcohol.
The cleaning process is best performed once a month. Shorten the
cleaning interval if dirt is more prominent.
7.2.5 Cleaning the Fiber Clamps
1. Two fiber clamps are located in the windshield to help press the fiber
into the V-grooves. Open the windshield.
2. Clean the top of the fiber clamps with a cotton swab soaked with
denatured alcohol. (Use ethanol of more than 99% purity.)
