Chapter 6: OTR 800 Description
6.1 OTDR Physical Description
Instrument Enclosure
The ODM® Brand OTDR 800 is packaged in a rugged housing and further protected by a rubberized boot. Although the front panel
is weather-resistant, care must be taken to prevent liquids and contaminants from damaging the fragile optical and electrical
connectors, as well as the glass display. Use a mild cleaning agent and soft damp cloth to clean up the panels and the outside
case. Clean the optical connector if needed using only industry accepted fiber cleaning methods. NEVER open the instrument for
cleaning. Return the unit to the factory for servicing, if necessary.
