PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USER’S MANUAL

The Cleaning Procedure:

Dry Cleaning

ATTENTION!

Invisible laser radiation might be emitted from disconnected fibre

s or

connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments.

1. Before cleaning the optical connectors on the OMU it is advisable to clean the connector of the

mating cable being attached to the optical port.

An unclean optical connector is often the cause for reduced system performance. A bit of dust or

oil from a finger can easily interfere with, or block light. Fortunately, it is very easy to clean the

connector. Be sure to use the correct procedure for the given connector. When disconnected, cap

the SC/APC connector to keep it clean and prevent scratching the tip of the ferrule.

Use a product specially designed

for the

purpose, such as the Cletop type S Cassette

Cleaner.

2. Begin by dry cleaning the F/O bulkhead connector (shown below is the Fujikura One-Click in

use).

IMPORTANT

Always make sure there is a way of inspecting the connector after cleaning.

Cleaning can actually leave the end-

face in a worse condition, since alcohol

residue is one of the most difficult contaminants to remove.

Remove the protective cap from the

cleaning-

head end of the “One

Click” cleaner,

lift the protective

end-

cap on the fibre connector and

offer-

up the end to the fibre

connector.

4. With the cleaning-

head end fully

engaged in the connector, push until

an audible “click” is heard

Without fully withdrawing the

cleaning head end push it in again

twice more, each time until an

audible “click” is heard.

6. Withdraw the “

One Click” cleaner

and replace the protective end cap.
