First spray into the air, as the initial stream of compressed air could contain some condensation or propellant. Such condensation leaves behind a filmy deposit. Keysight Laser Source Modules User’s Guide Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com...
This helps increase the life span of the optical devices. Only use isopropyl alcohol in your ultrasonic bath, as other solvents may damage. Keysight Laser Source Modules User’s Guide Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com...

Take care never to look into the end of a fiber or any other optical component, when they are in use. This is because the laser can seriously damage your eyes. Keysight Laser Source Modules User’s Guide Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com...
Keep the caps on the equipment always when it is not in use. All of Keysight Technologies’ lightwave instruments and accessories are shipped with either laser shutter caps or dust caps. If you need additional or replacement dust caps, contact your nearest Keysight Technologies Sales/Service Office.
Opening the instrument can cause damage to sensitive components, and in addition your warranty will be voided. Keysight Laser Source Modules User’s Guide Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com...

How to clean instruments with an optical glass plate Some instruments, for example, the optical heads from Keysight Technologies have an optical glass plate to protect the sensor. Clean this glass plate in the same way as optical lenses (see “How to clean lenses”...
How to clean instruments with a recessed lens interface For instruments with a deeply recessed lens interface (for WA R N I N G example the Keysight 81633A and 81634A Power Sensors) do NOT follow ths procedure. Alcohol and compressed air could damage your lens even further.
How to clean optical devices which are sensitive to mechanical stress and pressure Some optical devices, such as the Keysight 81000BR Reference Reflector, which has a gold plated surface, are very sensitive to mechanical stress or pressure. Do not use cotton- swabs, soft- tissues or other mechanical cleaning tools, as these can scratch or destroy the surface.
Remove the fluid using compressed air at some distance and with low pressure. If there are any streaks or drying stains on the surface, repeat the whole cleaning procedure. Keysight Laser Source Modules User’s Guide Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com...
Blow away any dust or dirt with compressed air. Procedure for Stubborn Dirt Use this procedure particularly when there is greasy dirt on the lens: Keysight Laser Source Modules User’s Guide Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com...
