CertiFiber Pro Fiber Optical Loss Test Set
Users Manual

Always clean and inspect the endfaces in fiber connectors before
you make connections. Fluke Networks recommends that you use
a mechanical device, such as the Fluke Networks IBC OneClick
Cleaner, to clean connectors. If you do not have such a device, or
if the device does not clean the connector sufficiently, use other
optical-grade supplies to clean connectors.
Figure 12 shows the equipment you use to clean and inspect fiber
endfaces.
Warning
To prevent possible eye damage caused by
hazardous radiation:
Do not look directly into optical connectors. Some
optical equipment emits invisible radiation that can
cause permanent damage your eyes.
Before you clean an endface, turn off any optical
sources (laser or LED) that are connected to the
fiber.
When you inspect endfaces, use only magnification
devices that have the correct filters.
Caution
To prevent damage to connectors and to keep
contamination off of endfaces:
Always cover unused connectors and adapters with
protective caps.
Always keep unused protective caps in a clean,
sealed container to prevent contamination.
