What do I need for proper cleaning?

Standard Cleaning Equipment

28
Some Standard Cleaning Equipment is necessary for cleaning
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 Agilent 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
Agilent 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.
