Effects of Cleaning Interfaces and Connectors
The diameter of optic core is 9um, and diameter of dust and other particulates
ranges from 1/100 to 1/1/10 um. Comparatively speaking, the size of dust and other
particulates can cover part of optic end and therefore degrade the performance of
the instrument.
In addition, power density may burn dust into optic fiver and induce further damage
(for example, 0dBm optic power may produce about 16000000 W/m*m power
density in single mode fiber). In this case, measurement will be inaccurate and
irreversible.

Safety Instructions to be Followed before Cleaning
a) Make sure the instrument is power off when cleaning.
b) Any operations contradict to the instructions may result in dangerous laser
injuries.
c) Make sure laser source is off, when clean any optic connectors.
d) When the instrument is in operation, please always avoid looking directly into
optic output. Although laser radiation is invisible, it may do serious injury to
eyesight.
e) Be cautious of electric shock and make sure AC power is disconnected with the
instrument before cleaning. Always use dry or moistest soft cloth to clean the
outside of the instrument, and never clean the inside.
f) Please do not add any accessory to optic instrument or adjust the instrument at
discretion.
g) For maintenance, always go to qualified or certified professionals.
