How to clean instruments with a fixed connector interface
CAU T ION
42
You should only clean instruments with a fixed connector
interface when it is absolutely necessary. This is because it is
difficult to remove any used alcohol or filaments from the input
of the optical block.
It is important, therefore, to keep dust caps on the equipment at
all times, except when your optical device is in use.
If you do discover filaments or particles, the only way to clean a
fixed connector interface and the input of the optical block is to
use compressed air.
If there are fluids or fat in the connector, please refer the
instrument to the skilled personnel of Agilent's service team.
Only use clean, dry compressed air. Make sure that the air is free of
dust, water, and oil. If the air that you use is not clean and dry, this
can lead to filmy deposits or scratches on the surface of your
connector interface. This will degrade the performance of your
transmission system.
Never try to open the instrument and clean the optical block by
yourself, because it is easy to scratch optical components, and
cause them to become misaligned.
