Fiber Tip
Cleaning
Techniques
No known cleaning method is 100% effective; therefore, it is
imperative that inspection is included as part of the cleaning
process. Improper cleaning can damage the equipment.
Dry Cleaning
Technique
This section describes a dry cleaning technique that uses a cartridge
cleaner.
Recommended cartridge cleaning tools:
1. Make sure that the laser is turned off before you begin the
inspection.
2. Unscrew/remove the dust cap.
3. Inspect the connector with a fiberscope. Refer to the “Fiber Tip
Inspection Technique” (p. 4).
4. If the connector is dirty, clean with a cartridge cleaner.
5. Press down and hold the thumb lever—the shutter slides back
and exposes a new cleaning area.
6. Hold the fiber tip lightly against the
cleaning area (slot 1).
7. Pull the fiber tip lightly down the
exposed cleaning area in the direction
of the arrow or from top to bottom
and, at the same time, rotate the fiber
90 to 180 degrees.
