Use the following procedure to install Fiber Optic Adapters onto the OMH-6722B
Measurement Head.
• Locate the model AO270 threaded ring adapter and the two #2-56 X 3/16" cap screws that
secure it to the Measurement Head.
• Place the adapter onto the face of the Measurement Head and secure it using the two cap
screws.
• The adapter is now ready to receive any AOXXX series screw on fiber optic adapter cap, e.g
AO271 (FC). Screw the cap on until it bottoms out on the face of the Measurement Head.
The design of the Measurement Head is fairly robust, however it should be
handled with care. Stress from dropping the Head or other mishandling could
dislodge critical alignments within the Head, effectively changing its response and
nullifying its calibration. It is also sensitive to electrostatic discharge. When not in
use, replace the ESD-protective cap that came with the Head on the D connector
and store the Head in the ESD-safe bag.

Cleaning

In general, avoid cleaning the interior of the Measurement Head, especially by
blowing into it or by using compressed air. If minor dust or other particulates
have entered the input aperture , remove the contaminant using canned air or dry
nitrogen. Use short bursts while holding the head such that the aperture is
directed downward.
