swab.
z Be careful to not contact the electrode tips.
z Do not use excessive force when cleaning
the V-groove. The V-groove arm may
get damaged.
z If the contaminants in the V-groove cannot
be removed with an alcohol-impregnated thin
cotton swab, use a cleaved fiber end-face to
dislodge contaminants from the bottom of
the V-groove. Repeat step 2 after this
procedure.

5.2 Cleaning Fiber Clamp Chips

<1> If contaminants are present on the clamp chips, proper clamping may
not occur, resulting in poor quality splices. The fiber clamp chips
should be frequently inspected and periodically cleaned during
normal operation.
<2> To clean the clamp chips, do the following: Open the wind protector.
Clean the surface of the chip clamp with an alcohol-impregnated
thin cotton swab. Remove excess alcohol from the chip clamp with
a clean dry swab.

5.3 Cleaning Wind Protector Mirrors

If the wind protector mirrors become dirty, the fiber core position
may be incorrect due to decreased optical path clarity, resulting in higher
splice loss. To clean the mirrors, do the following: Clean the mirror
surface with an alcohol-impregnated thin cotton swab. Remove excess
alcohol from the mirror surface with a clean dry swab. Mirror should
look clean with no streaks or smudges.
