24 | Maintenance
The fiber optic connectors and cables used with laser-powered probes can be
damaged from airborne particles, humidity and moisture, oils from the human
body, and debris from the connectors they plug into. Always handle connectors
and cables with care, using the following guidelines.
For the steps to return a system or system component to ETS-Lindgren for
service, see the Product Information Bulletin included with your shipment.
Before performing any maintenance, disconnect
the fiber optic cables from the unit and turn off
power.
When disconnecting fiber optic cables, apply the
included dust caps to the ends to maintain their
integrity.
Before connecting fiber optic cables, clean the
connector tips and in-line connectors.
Before attaching in-line connectors, clean them
with moisture-free compressed air.
Failure to perform these tasks may result in
damage to the fiber optic connectors or cables.
