DE-MOUNTING AVIM /AVIO CONNECTOR FROM MATING ADAPTER Loosen the knurled/hexagon nut of the connector. For the Avim case you may use the 6mm torque wrench. Once the nut is loosened from the thread, pull the ferrule straight out gently without any side movement in order to avoid the ferrule front surface scratching of the front mating adapter.
The tolerance to dirt is near zero so always have the protection caps on adapter/connector if not in use/connected in order to avoid dust getting on the surface. DIAMOND offers a wide range of products in order to allow a safe connector inspection and cleaning. Avim - e...
If after repeated cleaning the connector still does not meet the acceptance criteria, the connector must be replaced or re-polished. Re-polishing should only be performed by trained personnel using Diamond polishing machines and should only be performed on-site when absolutely necessary. Always keep the protective cap on the connector when not in use.

Visual inspection and cleaning procedures VISUAL INSPECTION OF AVIM APC/PC MATED CONNECTORS (IN-ADAPTER INSPECTION) THERE ARE TWO METHODS TO BE ABLE TO INSPECT THE FRONT SURFACE OF A MATED AVIM APC/PC CONNECTOR 3.61 METHOD 1 (This method does not require to dismantle the front flange of the mating adapter.) Fasten the screw of the special adapter tip (4°) on the extended barrel.

Visual inspection and cleaning procedures 3.61 METHOD 2 To be able to inspect the front surface an AVIM APC/PC the front flange has to be removed. By holding the adapter tip ø2.5mm at a slight angle gently lean it in the mating adapter. This avoids damaging / scratching of the connector front surface.
Do refer to the official document “Acceptance Criteria for Installed Connectors”. The document refers to the surface control and acceptance criteria of ferrule end face quality for DIAMOND standard ferrules installed in the field. (Pay attention: This document is not for nonstandard ferrules.) Document No.
