DLP-A205 Clean Fiber Connectors with CLETOP
Warning
Invisible laser radiation could be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector.
Do not stare into the beam directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with certain
optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of
100 mm could pose an eye hazard.
Statement 1056
Step 1 Remove the dust cap from the fiber connector.
Step 2 Wipe the connector tip with the premoistened alcohol wipe.
Step 3 Blow-dry using filtered air.
Step 4 Use an inspection microscope to inspect each fiber connector for dirt, cracks, or scratches. If the

using a CLETOP stick swab (14100400).
