    Proper performance of a fibre optic connection is strongly dependant on the cleanliness of the mated ferrules. DIAMOND connectors are thoroughly inspected and cleaned prior to shipment. Before placing a connector in service, it is however advisable to inspect it before. After repeated matings, however, or when degraded performance is observed, it may become necessary to clean the individual ferrules and mating sleeve.

    CLEANING THE CONNECTOR FRONT FACE USING „IBC CLEANER“ 7. CLEANING THE CONNECTOR FRONT FACE USING “IBC CLEANER” The IBC™ Brand Cleaning Tools are dry cloth cleaning tools specially designed to clean single fiber connectors residing in an adapter, faceplate or bulkhead. The dust cap of the cleaning tool acts as an adapter for cleaning unmated connectors.

    INSPECTION 11. INSPECTION The ML3S Visual Fault Locator is a hand-held, lightweight, visible laser light source used to identify tight bends or crimps, damaged components, bad splices fiber breaks and also to isolate high losses and faults in fibers cables. By emitting a bright beam of red light into a fiber, breaks can be seen as a glowing red light. The ML3S can be used with either singlemode or multimode cable sections.
  • Page 19 INSPECTION Use the following procedure for fault locate detection: 1. Remove the dust cap covering the unit’s OPTICAL PORT. 2. Connect a cable to the OPTICAL PORT connector. 3. Push the switch to the to the desired function: Turns the LASER off. Turns the LASER on with a continuous laser output.
  • Page 20 INSPECTION Example of application with a rack using an E-2000™ patchcord: Maintenance The dust cap is provided for the optical output port, and must be in place when the unit is not in use to prevent foreign material from entering the port. Battery Replacement To replace the AA battery, remove the screw at the end of the VFL.
