Page 37: Cleaning And Checking Before Splicing
Menu Operation 1. Cleaning and Checking before Splicing Critical cleaning points and maintenance checks are described below. A. Cleaning V-grooves If contaminants are present in the V-grooves, proper clamping may not occur, resulting in higher splice loss. The V-grooves should be frequently inspected and periodically cleaned during normal operation. -
Page 38: Periodical Checking And Cleaning
Menu Operation B. Cleaning Fiber Clamp Chips If contaminants are present on the clamp chips, proper clamping may not occur, resulting in poor quality splices. The fiber clamp chips should be frequently inspected and periodically cleaned during normal operation. To clean the clamp chips do the following: a) Open the wind protector. - Page 39 Menu Operation cotton swab. Using the cotton swab, start at the center of the lens and move the swab in a circular motion until you spiral out to the edge of the lens surface. c) The lens surface should be clean and free of streaks or smudges. d) Turn on the power and make sure no smudges or streaks are visible on the monitor screen.
