1. GENERAL
Proper performance of a fibre optic connection is strongly dependant on the cleanliness of the mated ferrules.
DIAMOND connectors are thoroughly inspected and cleaned prior to shipment.
Before placing a connector in service, it is however advisable to inspect it before. After repeated matings,
however, or when degraded performance is observed, it may become necessary to clean the individual ferrules
and mating sleeve. The following instructions outline proper cleaning and inspection procedures to help ensure
optimal connector performance.

Fibre Optic Cleaning and Troubleshooting
Process Flow
If after repeated cleaning the connector still does not meet the acceptance criteria, the connector must be
replaced or re-polishing.
Re-polishing should only be performed by trained personnel using Diamond polishing machines and should
only be performed on-site when absolutely necessary. Always keep the protective cap on the connector
when not in use.

5. CLEANING THE CONNECTOR FRONT FACE USING EASY CLEAN (DRY)
Cleaning process
1. By pushing down the feeding lever a new part of the cleaning tape moves forward and the metal shutter
on the upper side of the cleaning cartridge is opened.
2. Now the connector front face is set onto the upper end of the groove and is carefully moved along on the
cleaning tape. Please observe the direction of the arrow on the cartridge.
3. Close the protective shutter by releasing the feeding lever.
4. To inspect the ferrule endface, insert the ferrule into the opening on the inspection microscope. Set the focus
so that the observed features can be compared with the example on page 10. Also refer to the samples on
page 11-12.
5. If the criteria is met, the connector may be returned to service.
6. If the criteria is not met, repeat the cleaning procedure. If after repeated cleaning the connector still does
not meet the criteria, the connector must be replaced or returned for repolishing. Repolishing should only
be performed by trained personnel and should only be performed on-site when absolutely necessary. Keep
the connectors protective cap mounted at all times when not in use.
NB: E-2000™ with spring loaded protection cap
Insert the connector in the service adapter, part no. 1019034, and procced cleaning according to the above
description.
5.1Ferrule end face dry cleaning procedure for unmated connectors
A) When the lever is pushed down, the metal protection cover automatically slides back and a new section
of tape appears, ready for use.
B) Keep the lever down, hold the ferrule front face onto the tape and slide along the entire tape in the
indicated direction .
C) Attention: the same part of the tape may be used once.
D) Close the metal protection cover by releasing the lever.
E) Inspect the connector referring to the according “Acceptance Criteria” document. If the connector
face is not clean repeat the procedure.
F) If the result is not positive even after repeated cleaning, try with the wet procedure.

6. CLEANING AND INSPECTING FERRULE ENDFACE USING A ISOPROPYL
ALCOHOL (WET)
1. Fold a precision wipe, disposable wipe three times to create a cleaning surface cushioned with eight layers
of folded material. Be careful not to touch the cleaning surface.
2. Moisten a small area of the cleaning surface with solvent, ensuring that a portion of the surface
remains dry.
3. Press the ferrule endface lightly onto the moistened portion of the cleaning surface.
4. With light pressure, rotate the ferrule and move it back and forth over the moistened surface.
5. Immediately repeat this motion on a dry portion of the cleaning surface to remove any traces of solvent.
6. To inspect the ferrule endface, insert the ferrule into the opening on the inspection microscope. Set the focus
so that the observed features can be compared with the example on page 7. Also refer to the samples on
page 8-9.
7. If the criteria is met, the connector may be returned to service.
8. If the criteria is not met, repeat the cleaning procedure. If after repeated cleaning the connector still
does not meet the criteria, the connector must be replaced or returned for repolishing. Repolishing should
only be performed by trained personnel and should only be performed on-site when absolutely necessary.
Keep the connectors protective cap mounted at all times when not in use.
NB: E-2000™ with spring loaded protection cap
Insert the connector in the service adapter, part no. 1019034, and procced cleaning according to the above
description.
6.1 Ferrule end face wet cleaning procedure for unmated connectors
A) Fold a new a lint-free, disposable wipe three times to obtain a cleaning
surface cushioned with eight layers of folded material.
B) Moisten a small area of the cleaning surface with some 99% isopropyl
alcohol, ensuring that a small area of the surface remains dry.
C) Moisten the connector with the tissue and
leave it to act briefly. Rotate the ferrule on
the moistened tissue with an axial movement
several times applying a light pressure.

With the IBC cleaner 80% of cases the cleaning is carried out without problems, there is a 20% of cases where
cleaning with the IBC Cleaner won’t met the criteria if so try to pull out the plug from the mating adapter
and clean it wet (see CLEANING AND INSPECTING FERRULE ENDFACE USING A ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL) If after
repeated cleaning the connector still does not meet the acceptance criteria, the connector must be replaced
or re-polishing.
Applications
Fiber network panels and assemblies
Cleans harsh environment 2.5mm or 1.25mm based connector systems
Cable assembly production facility
Testing laboratories
Servers, switches, routers and interfaces with E-2000, SC, FC, ST and F-3000

DISCLAIMER
Diamond provides connectors respecting the criteria below, but with mating and de-mating the optical surface
will degrade visually while the optical performance (IL, RL) remain normally intact. Visual Inspection is NOT a
valid return criteria.
The reliable assessment of the power transmission and/or the reflection performances in an optical link between
two fibers should be performed through direct measurements of IL and RL since those are the values that the
end user will actually observe once the system is deployed.
Visual inspection for surface imperfections is an acceptable back-up solution in case direct measurements cannot
be performed. However, it can only indicate the suitability of a connection for use but cannot guarantee that
IL and RL specifications are going to be met. In this context, visual inspection should be considered only as a
qualitative assessment of the connector’s performance.

10. CLEANING THE MATING ADAPTER SLEEVE
1. Connectors must be unplugged from the mating adapter before cleaning.
2. Clean the mating sleeve by pushing the nylon brush back and forth through the sleeve several times and
follow with a blast from the miniature bellows or the compressed air canister.
3. Cleaning of E-2000™/F3000™ mating adapters.
Introduce 2 E-2000™/F3000™ blank-bodies into the mating adapters, so that the way to
alignment sleeve becomes free. Clean the adapter by using the correct cleaning stick, 1.25/2.5mm
and by following upper description from 1 to 5. Remove the blank-bodies after cleaning.
4. Clean the outer parts of the mating adapter with a lint-free wipe.
5. Keep the protective caps mounted when not in use.
6. Damaged mating adapters should be replaced.

2. Connect a cable to the OPTICAL PORT connector.
3. Push the switch to the to the desired function:
Turns the LASER off.
Turns the LASER on with a continuous laser output. The red Laser Active LED remains on.
Turns the LASER on with a pulsing laser output. (The red Laser Active LED pulses at a 2 Hz rate).
4. Visually examine the fiber components, locating the faults by a red glow (see Figure 1).

- Example of application with a rack using an E-2000™ patchcord:
Maintenance
The dust cap is provided for the optical output port, and must be in place when the unit is not in use to prevent
foreign material from entering the port.
Battery Replacement
To replace the AA battery, remove the screw at the end of the VFL.
After new battery has been replaced, close and screw the cover.
Safety
The ML3 Visual Fault Locator is a Class III laser product. As such it presents no hazard to users who view the
output when using proper operating procedures. It is recommended that users should not stare directly into
the beam.
The ML3 has a safety feature which automatically switches OFF the red light avoiding eye injuries. This occurs
after an impact such as falling out one’s hands, violent shaiking or brusquely leaning it on a bench.
