● When using the compressed air, keep the nozzle as close as possible to the fiber
end face without touching it.
● Before using the compressed air, first spray it into the air to expel deposits in the
compressed air.
● If the compressed air is not available, use a cleaning roll instead.
Use a fiber microscope to inspect the fiber to check whether there is any dirt.
For details, see the examples shown in "Inspecting Optical Fiber Connectors".
If the fiber end face is still dirty, repeat
Do not touch the fiber connector after cleaning it. Connect it to the optical
port immediately. If it is not used for the time being, put a protective cap on
it.
NO TE
Do not use the same cleaning area to clean the fiber connector for more than one
time.
Turn on the laser after connecting the fiber to the board.
