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.
Making the connection 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 patchcord 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.
Lens cleaning papers Note that some special lens cleaning papers are
not suitable for cleaning 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.
Immersion oil and other index matching compounds Do not use
immersion oil or other index matching compounds with optical sensors
equipped with recessed lenses. They are liable to dirty the detector and
impair its performance. They may also alter the property of depiction of
your optical device, thus rendering your measurements inaccurate.
Cleaning the housing and the mainframe 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.
