FIELD ALIGNMENT OF ALUMINUM HEAD
Tools needed to perform aligning adjustment:
• Small electronics screwdriver.
Adjustment procedure:
• Insert connector in inspection port.
• Loosen screws on top of the aluminum plate head piece.
• Align image and hold plate and clear lens together while
tightening one of the two hold-down screws.
• Perform find adjustment by viewing image and placing thumb
pressure on the side of the aluminum plate.
Note:
Be aware that image will move in the opposite direction that
pressure is applied.
• Tighten the last screw when you are satisfied with the view.
Caution: Do not over-tighten screws.
CARE AND STORAGE
Store your fiber inspection scope in appropriate temperatures.
Extreme temperatures can shorten the life of your instrument.
Dust and dirt can cause premature wear on your scope. Be sure
to gently clean the scope with a lint free cloth after each use.
When not using your scope, be sure to store it in a protected
case to avoid lens damage from sun, dust, dirt, or moisture.
Do not clean any portion of your scope with a harsh chemical or
solvent. Use a dry (or) slightly dampened with alcohol, lint free
cloth.
Caution: Always remove all epoxy from connector ferrules
before inserting into scope.
REPAIRING AND RESTORATION OF A REJECTED FINISH
For any connector face exhibiting signs of dust, bacterial
growth, epoxy, fluid, or contamination, use only an optic
approved lint free cloth and 90% (or better) isopropyl alcohol.
• Place the lint free cloth on a cushioned consistent surface i.e.
a polishing pad.
• Add a few drops of alcohol to one side of the cloth and buff
the fiber end on the saturated cloth using moderate hand
pressure for about 15 seconds.
• Move to a dry section of the lint free cloth and once again buff
the fiber end using firm hand pressure.
• Inspect finish using the 200X scope with angle adapter and
repeat steps 1 through 3 if necessary.
FOR SCRATCHED OR SLIGHTLY BLEMISHED SURFACES
• For distinct scratches or very slight core/cladding fractures
use 1.0 to 1.5um DIAMOND lapping film.
• For light scratches, surface blemishes, undercut, or epoxy
fold-over, first use standard acetate 1um lapping film followed
by 0.5 micron DIAMOND lapping film.
