Cleaning Detector Ports
Regular cleaning of connectors will help maintain optimum performance.
To clean detector ports:
1. Remove the detector protective cap and the connector adapter (FOA).
2. If the detector is dusty, remove dirt with compressed air.
3. Take a cleaning tip from the package (supplied with EXFO’s power
meters) being careful not to touch the soft end of the swab.
4. Moisten the cleaning tip with only one drop of isopropyl alcohol.
5. While applying light pressure, gently rotate the cleaning tip on the
detector window.
6. Repeat previous step, but this time with a dry cleaning tip or blow dry
with compressed air.
7. Discard the cleaning tips after one use.
IMPORTANT
To help keep the detectors and adapters clean, EXFO recommends
installing protective caps when the unit is not in use. You should
also clean the fiber ends before every connection.
IMPORTANT
Alcohol may leave traces if used abundantly. Avoid contact between
the tip of the bottle and the cleaning tip, and do not use bottles
that distribute too much alcohol at a time.
CAUTION
To avoid breaking the detector window during cleaning, be careful
not to apply too much pressure on it.
