Maintenance
Fiber care
The fiber optic cables have a glass core. They should not be bent with a radius of less than 10cm.
If the fiber ends become dirty, use a lens wipe and alcohol to clean gently.
Always keep the protective caps on when not in use.
Spectrometer care
Ocean Optics spectrometers are precision instruments designed as light, portable devices. Take the
following precautions:
 Avoid shocks and drops
 Avoid extremes of temperature
 If exposed to sub zero temperatures allow to reach room temperature and wait for one hour before
operating
 Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight
 Always replace dust caps when not in use
