Attaching an external optical connector

Some instruments also use external optical connectors. Before attaching an external
connector to your instrument, be certain the connector is clean. If the external
connector is new, or has been used with clean, defect-free fiber connectors and capped
when not in use, it does not typically require cleaning.
If you suspect poor performance is due to a dirty cable, connector, or optical jack, make
sure you clean them.
To attach an external optical connector
1 Verify that the laser is turned OFF on the instrument.
2 Verify that the locking lever of the connector is in a released position.
3 Pinch the connector with your index finger on the top of the locking lever, and your
thumb on the bottom of the connector.
4 Align the connector squarely with the four sides of the optical connector on the
panel.
NOTE:
If you insert the connector at an angle you risk damaging the connector.
5 Insert the connector into the optical connector on the panel, and then lock the
shell in place by rotating the locking lever upwards until you hear a click.
The connector is attached. Be certain to cover it with a dust cap if you don't intend to
begin testing immediately.
