P6701B, P6703B, and P6723 Service Manual

NOTE. Cleaning kits for fiber-optic connectors are available from a number of
suppliers.

Cleaning the External Parts

Remove dirt with a soft cloth dampened in a mild detergent and water solution or
isopropyl alcohol.

CAUTION. To avoid damaging the probe, use only a mild detergent and water
solution or isopropyl alcohol; do not use any other solvents or abrasive
cleaners. Do not immerse the probe.

Handling

Even though the fiber-optic cable of the P6701B, P6703B, or P6723 O/E
Converter is protected by a jacket and strain relief, the fiber-optic cable should
be handled carefully at all times.

CAUTION. To avoid damaging the P6701B, P6703B, and P6723 O/E Converters,
take the following precautions:

Do not crush, crimp, or sharply bend the fiber optic cable.

Do not pull or yank the fiber-optic cable.

Do not drop the converter assembly since damage and misalignment of the
photodiode optical assembly can result. Store the converter in a secure location
when not in use.

Replace the protective cap on the connector when the converter is not in use.

The P6701B, P6703B, and P6723 O/E Converters can connect to optical fibers
with a core diameter of up to 62.5 m through one of the FC, ST, SC, or DIN
adapters. Adapter cables that aid in connecting many other popular optical
connectors are also available. (Refer to Optional accessories on page 24.)
