7.8.3 Disconnecting the PIPA-Q Optical Connector from the Process
Head
Each optical connector change incurs the risk of contaminating or damaging the optical
connector. Therefore optical connectors should only be changed when required and the local
environment should be as clean and dust free as possible to avoid introducing debris into the
receiver.
Using clean, dry compressed air or nitrogen, blow away any dust from the area where the
optical connector enters the receiver.
Using a clean cloth or tissue, wipe down the area where the optical connector enters the
receiver to remove the last traces of dust or debris.
Remove the PIPA-Q optical connector from the receiver using the 2-step process
Unlocking Step 1:
Pull the locking sleeve out by 2mm
Unlocking Step 2:
Turn the locking sleeve through 37° in an anticlockwise direction and remove the optical
connector
Immediately after the optical connector is removed the protective cap must be refitted. The
process head entry way should also be plugged to prevent dust entry.
