SMART CLEANER
USER’S MANUAL
Thank you for choosing to use Legrand’s Smart Cleaner optical connector cleaner. This product is a pen-shaped optical
connector cleaner with a replaceable cleaning cartridge. Residue on the end face of optical connectors can be removed by
a simple push that provides consistent and dependable cleaning every time. In addition, the Smart Cleaner has antistatic
properties that prevent dust from re-adhering to the ferrule end face and makes it safe to use in situations where static
electricity must be avoided.
This product is intended for use as a cleaner for optical connector ferrule
Do not use for any other purposes
Do not use this product for cleaning lens type optical ports (such as transceivers, reception ports for
optical measurement equipment, etc.)
1. Names and Descriptions of Parts
Legrand’s Smart Cleaner is composed of a replaceable cartridge containing the cleaning string and the retaining handle
which holds it. The handle unit and the cartridge are sold as one unit, while replacement cartridges may also be purchased
separately.
CARTRIDGE
The cartridge is composed of the guide which positions the
cleaner on the ferrule end face and also contains the cleaning
string, the string reel (not shown in the gure),and guide lock
which holds the guide firmly in the retaining handle. One
cartridge can perform about 750 cleaning operations. A blue
tape appears in the viewing window to indicate that it is time to
replace the cartridge. There are three kinds of cartridges. The
type being used can be confirmed by the display on the guide
(MU, LC or SC, FC, ST, E -2000).
RETAINING HANDLE
The retaining handle is composed of the slider mechanism that
advances the cleaning string while rotating the head, the main
body, the pressure spring (not show in the gure),and the head
attachment. The concave part for the body connects with the
concave part in the cartridge. Because the attachment for SC,
FC, ST and E-2000 use and for MU and LC use is fixed to the
slider, the retaining handle differ by the MU, LC type and the
SC, FC, ST, E-2000 type.
