Lens assemblies consisting of several lenses are not normally sealed. Therefore,
use as little alcohol as possible, as it can get between the lenses and in doing so
can change the properties of projection.
Preferred Procedure Use the following procedure on most occasions.
1 Clean the lens by rubbing a new, dry cotton-swab over the surface using a
small circular movement.
2 Blow away any remaining lint with compressed air.
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.
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.
CAUTION 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.
Never try to open the instrument and clean the optical block by yourself, because
it is easy to scratch optical components, and cause them to be misaligned.
