This Cleaning Information applies to a number of different types of Optical
Equipment.
Sections of particularly relevance to the following devices are
cross-referenced below.
When using optical head adapters, periodically inspect the optical head's
front window (see
How to clean connector adapters
cleaning procedures). Dust and metal particles can be propelled through
the adapter's pinhole while inserting the connector ferrule into the
receptacle. These dirt particles collect on the head's front window and, if
not removed, can lead to incorrect measurement results.
Periodically inspect the optical head's front window for dust and other
particles (see
How to clean instruments with an optical glass plate
page 104 for cleaning procedures). These can be propelled through the
optical head adapter's pinhole while inserting a connector ferrule into the
receptacle. Particles on the optical head's front window can significantly
impair measurement results.
Please follow the following safety rules:
•
Do not remove instrument covers when operating.
•
Ensure that the instrument is switched off throughout the cleaning
procedures.
•
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
•
Make sure that you disable all sources when you are cleaning any
optical interfaces.
•
Under no circumstances look into the end of an optical device attached
to optical outputs when the device is operational. The laser radiation is
not visible to the human eye, but it can seriously damage your eyesight.
•
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the instrument from the mains
before cleaning. Use a dry cloth, or one slightly dampened with water,
to clean the external case parts. Do not attempt to clean internally.
