Other Cleaning Hints
Selecting the correct cleaning method is an important element in
maintaining your equipment and saving you time and money. This
Appendix highlights the main cleaning methods, but cannot address every
individual circumstance.
This section contain some additional hints which we hope will help you
further. For further information, please contact your local Agilent
Technologies representative.
Before you make any connection you must ensure that all lightwave cables
and connectors are clean. If not, then use appropriate the cleaning
methods.
When you insert the ferrule of a patch cord into a connector or an adapter,
ensure that the fiber end does not touch the outside of the mating
connector or adapter. Otherwise, the fiber end will rub up against
something which could scratch it and leave deposits.
Note that some special lens cleaning papers are not suitable for cleaning
papers
optical devices like connectors, interfaces, lenses, mirrors and so on. To be
absolutely certain that a cleaning paper is applicable, please ask the
salesperson or the manufacturer.
Do not use immersion oil or other index matching compounds with optical
sensors equipped with recessed lenses. They are liable to dirty the
matching
detector and impair its performance. They may also alter the property of
depiction of your optical device, thus rendering your measurements
inaccurate.
When cleaning either the mainframe or the housing of your instrument,
only use a dry and very soft cotton tissue on the surfaces and the numeric
pad.
Never open the instruments as they can be damaged. Opening the
instruments puts you in danger of receiving an electrical shock from your
device, and renders your warranty void.
