Maintenance and Service
Clean the adapters with a soft cloth that is moist with water or water and a mild soap.
Do not use abrasives, solvents, or alcohol.
If an adapter does not operate correctly, look for damage to the connections in the
adapter jack, plug, or socket. Make sure that the adapter is latched tightly to the tester.
For permanent link adapters, look for damage to the adapters' cable.
For service on the adapters, speak to a Fluke Networks representative for information
on service centers.
For the most current test limits and features, keep your tester's software up to date. The
latest version of software is available on the Fluke Networks website.
Tips and Latches on Permanent Link Adapters
Replace the RJ45 tips on permanent link adapters when test result margins start to
shrink or if a tip shows damage. You can use the Autotest counter on the tester's version
information screen to monitor the number of insertions.
The plug's latch can also wear over time. The kit shown under "Replacement Parts"
supplies replacement tips and latches.
