- Compressed air may be used to clean fiber bulkhead connectors. Use
compressed air according to the following specifications at least:
- Non-residue, inert gas for precision dust removal
- Ultra-filtered to < 0.2 microns
- Recommended for optical systems
- Using compressed air as listed above, remove the bulkhead dust
cover and hold the can of compressed air about 6 inches away from
the connector. After spraying a few short bursts into the bulkhead, the
connector is clean and ready for connection.
- If compressed air is not available, the transmitter fiber bulkhead
connector may be cleaned by 2.5 mm
connector
plate may be removed to clean the internal fiber patch cords.
CAUTION: The use caution when handling fibers.
Do not exceed fiber manufacturer's pulling tension or bend radius specifications
when removing fiber bulkhead connector plate.
- To remove the transmitter optical connector plate, remove the screw on the
far left of the optical plate and remove the screw on the far right of the optical
plate. Do not remove the screws on the optical bulkhead connector.
- Slowly remove the optical connector plate from the rear panel and
disconnect each fiber connector from the bulkhead mounted on the plate.
-
Clean each fiber connector according to the fiber cleaning guidelines.
4. - Make sure the laser key switches on the front panel of the transmitter are in
the OFF position.
5. - Connect the fiber patch cord from the output of the transmitter to the optical
power meter.
6. - Turn the transmitter laser key switch to the ON position.
7. - Use the optical power meter to verify that the transmitter optical power
follows the specification.
8. - Turn the transmitter laser key switch to the OFF position.
