connector is consistent with the instrument’s optical connector and please prepare cleaning
tools to clean the fiber interface.
Otherwise, it will affect measurement accuracy and potentially cause serious damage to the
equipment.
To ensure the instrument functioning properly and obtain the best test result, you should
always clean the fiber end with ethanol (ethyl alcohol or pure alcohol) before connecting to
the laser interface. Wait until the alcohol is volatilized before connecting the fiber to the
instrument.
When the fiber is disconnected from OTDR, cover the laser interface with its cap immediately
to avoid dust or dirt getting into the laser interface.
Do not look directly into any live fiber or direct laser light. Wear appropriate protective
eyewear. Otherwise, it can cause blindness or damage to the eye.
