10.3. Cleaning the Optical Connectors
It is important to ensure the optical connector of the ECL-210 remains clean. Any dirt that
accumulates will cause increased loss and when high optical powers are used may lead to connector
damage. Periodic cleaning of the optical connectors is recommended. This is achieved by removing
the connector adapter as indicated in the cleaning procedure below.
1. Remove the two screws holding the connector adapters as shown in the diagram above.
2. Pull the connector adapters forward to remove it from the ECL-210 unit.
3. Carefully clean the surface of the protruding optical connector using a soft lint free cloth
moistened with alcohol. Do not press unnecessarily on the end of the connector as this will
cause it to become detached from its socket.
4. Carefully replace the connector adapter by sliding it over the protruding optical connector and
tighten with the two fixing screws. The alignment notch in the connector adapter should be
positioned at the top of the connector.
