Cleaning Information

How to clean instruments with a fixed connector interface

Procedure for Stubborn Dirt

Use this procedure particularly when there is greasy dirt on the lens:

1.Moisten a new cotton-swab with isopropyl alcohol.

2.Clean the lens by rubbing the cotton-swab over the surface using a small circular movement.

3.Using a new, dry cotton-swab remove the alcohol, any dissolved sediment and dust.

4.Blow away any remaining lint with compressed air.

E.12 How to clean instruments with a fixed connector interface

 

You should only clean instruments with a fixed connector interface

 

when it is absolutely necessary. This is because it is difficult to

 

remove any used alcohol or filaments from the input of the optical

 

block.

 

It is important, therefore, to keep dust caps on the equipment at all

 

times, except when your optical device is in use.

 

If you do discover filaments or particles, the only way to clean a

 

fixed connector interface and the input of the optical block is to use

 

compressed air.

 

If there are fluids or fat in the connector, please refer the instrument

 

to the skilled personnel of Agilent’s service team.

Only use clean, dry compressed air. Make sure that the air is free of

 

dust, water, and oil. If the air that you use is not clean and dry, this can

 

lead to filmy deposits or scratches on the surface of your connector

 

interface. This will degrade the performance of your transmission

 

system.
