5USING TEMPERATURE PROBES

5.1 Caution

Each time you connect a temperature probe to the unit, the probe optical connector should be cleaned beforehand. Otherwise, particles of grease or dirt may obstruct the device internal connector and affect the measurements by completely blocking the signal or by generating too much attenuation when using a long fiber length.

Never use a cloth other than the type recommended for fiber optic cleaning. Dampening the cloth with pure isopropyl alcohol ensures good cleaning.

Occasionally, clean the inside of the bulkhead connector (attached to the thermometer) with a wipe or cotton swab dipped in alcohol (2.5 mm mini foam swabs work best).

For very dirty connectors, acetone can also be used, but should be used very carefully, as it is a very strong solvent. Care should be exercised so you do not apply any on plastic materials, etc.
