How to clean optical head adapters
Some adapters have an anti-reflection coating on
the back to reduce back reflection. This coating is
extremely sensitive to solvents and mechanical
abrasion. Extra care is needed when cleaning these
adapters.
When using optical head adapters, periodically
inspect the optical head’s front window. Dust and
metal particles can be propelled through the
adapter’s pinhole while inserting the connector
ferrule to the receptacle. Those dirt particles col-
lect on the head’s front window, and can lead to
wrong measurement results if not removed.
Preferred Procedure
Use the following procedure on most occasions.
1 Clean the adapter by rubbing a new, dry cotton
swab over the surface using a small circular
movement.
2 Blow away any remaining lint with compressed
air.
Procedure for Stubborn Dirt
Use this procedure when there is greasy dirt on
the adapter.
1 Moisten a new cotton swab with isopropyl
alcohol.
2 Clean the adapter by rubbing the cotton swab
over the surface using a small circular move-
ment.
3 Take a new, dry soft tissue and remove the
alcohol, dis-solved sediment and dust, by rub-
bing gently over the surface using a small cir-
cular movement.
4 Blow away any remaining lint with compressed
air.
