What do I need for proper

cleaning?

Some Standard Cleaning Equipment is necessary for cleaning your

instrument. For certain cleaning procedures, you may also require certain

Additional Cleaning Equipment.

Standard Cleaning Equipment

Before you can start your cleaning procedure you need the following

standard equipment:

• Dust and shutter caps

• Isopropyl alcohol

• Cotton swabs

• Soft tissues

• Pipe cleaner

• Compressed air

Dust and shutter caps

All of Agilent Technologies’ lightwave instruments are delivered with

either laser shutter caps or dust caps on the lightwave adapter. Any cables

come with covers to protect the cable ends from damage or

contamination.

We suggest these protective coverings should be kept on the equipment at

all times, except when your optical device is in use. Be careful when

replacing dust caps after use. Do not press the bottom of the cap onto the

fiber too hard, as any dust in the cap can scratch or pollute your fiber

surface.

If you need further dust caps, please contact your nearest Agilent

Technologies sales office.
