Selecting the correct cleaning method is an important
element in maintaining your equipment and saving you time
and money. This Appendix highlights the main cleaning
methods, but cannot address every individual circumstance.
This section contain some additional hints which we hope
will help you further. For further information, please contact
your local Keysight Technologies representative.
Before you make any connection you must ensure that all
lightwave cables and connectors are clean. If not, then use
the appropriate cleaning methods.
When you insert the ferrule of a patchcord into a connector
or an adapter, ensure that the fiber end does not touch the
outside of the mating connector or adapter. Otherwise, the
fiber end will rub up against something which could scratch
it and leave deposits.
Some special lens cleaning papers are not suitable for
cleaning optical devices like connectors, interfaces, lenses,
mirrors and so on. To be absolutely certain that a cleaning
paper is applicable, please ask the salesperson or the
manufacturer.
Do not use immersion oil or other index matching
compounds with optical sensors equipped with recessed
lenses. They are liable to dirty the detector and impair its
performance. They may also alter the property of depiction
of your optical device, thus rendering your measurements
inaccurate.
