Use of pipe cleaners The best way to use a pipe cleaner is to push it in and out
of the device opening (for example, when cleaning an
interface). While you are cleaning, you should slowly
rotate the pipe cleaner.
Only use pipe cleaners on connector interfaces or on feed
through adapters. Do not use them on optical head
adapters, as the center of a pipe cleaner is hard metal and
can damage the bottom of the adapter.
Reuse of pipe cleaners Your pipe cleaner should be new when you use it. If it has
collected any dust or dirt, this can scratch or contaminate
your device.
Metal tip/center The tip and center of the pipe cleaner are made of metal.
Avoid accidentally pressing these metal parts against the
inside of the device, as this can cause scratches.
Compressed air
Compressed air can be purchased from any laboratory
supplier.
Purity of air It is essential that your compressed air is free of dust,
water and oil. Only use clean, dry air. If not, this can lead
to filmy deposits or scratches on the surface of your
connector. This will reduce the performance of your
transmission system.
Spraying When spraying compressed air, hold the can upright. If
the can is held at a slant, propellant could escape and
dirty your optical device. First spray into the air, as the
initial stream of compressed air could contain some
condensation or propellant. Such condensation leaves
behind a filmy deposit.
Please be friendly to your environment and use a CFC-
free aerosol.
