your instrument. For certain cleaning procedures, you may also require
certain Additional Cleaning Equipment
Before you can start your cleaning procedure you need the following
standard equipment:
• Dust and shutter caps
• Isopropyl alcohol
• Cotton swabs
• Soft tissues
• Pipe cleaner
• Compressed air
Dust and shutter caps
All of Keysight Technologies' lightwave instruments are delivered with
either laser shutter caps or dust caps on the lightwave adapter. Any cables
come with covers to protect the cable ends from damage or
contamination.
We suggest these protective coverings should be kept on the equipment
at all times, except when your optical device is in use. Be careful when
replacing dust caps after use. Do not press the bottom of the cap onto the
fiber too hard, as any dust in the cap can scratch or pollute your fiber
surface.
If you need further dust caps, please contact your nearest Keysight
Technologies sales office.
Isopropyl alcohol
This solvent is usually available from any local pharmaceutical supplier or
chemist's shop.
If you use isopropyl alcohol to clean your optical device, do not
immediately dry the surface with compressed air (except when you are
cleaning very sensitive optical devices). This is because the dust and the
dirt is solved and will leave behind filmy deposits after the alcohol is
evaporated. You should therefore first remove the alcohol and the dust
with a soft tissue, and then use compressed air to blow away any
remaining filaments.
