off the laser transmitter before commencing this cleaning
procedure.
2 Remove the adapters from the optical IN and OUT ports by
flipping back the lever on the optical adapter.
3 Using the blow brush with the brush removed blow through
the ferrule of the standard flexible connector and the
adapter.
4 If the optical fibre of the fixed connector requires further
cleaning this entails disassembly of the module. This should
be carried out only by suitably trained service personnel.
5 Apply some isopropyl alcohol to a piece of the cleaning
paper and clean the barrel of the adapter. Using a new piece
of cleaning paper, clean the face of the adapter. Repeat this
operation, using a new piece of cleaning paper each time.
6 Use a blow brush or compressed air to remove any particles
of cleaning paper which may be present.
7 Replace the adapters in the optical connector. Secure in
place by clicking the retaining lever back into position.
