7. Vzdrževanje
7.1. Cleaning the Optical Connector
A clean optical connector is crucial for accurate measurements and to prevent damage to the fiber. Always clean the connector before use.
- Use a high-quality, lint-free fiber optic cleaning wipe or a specialized fiber optic cleaning stick.
- Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol (99% pure) to the cleaning material.
- Gently clean the end-face of the optical connector.
- Allow the connector to dry completely before re-connecting any fiber.
- Always keep the dust cap on the optical port when not in use.
7.2. Nega naprave
- Keep the device dry. If it gets wet, wipe it immediately with a soft, dry cloth.
- Avoid dropping the device or subjecting it to strong impacts, even with the protective case.
- Napravo shranjujte v čistem in suhem okolju, ko je ne uporabljate.
- Če naprave ne boste uporabljali dlje časa, odstranite baterije, da preprečite puščanje.
8. Odpravljanje težav
| Težava | Možen vzrok | rešitev |
|---|---|---|
| Naprava se ne vklopi | Prazne ali prazne baterije; nepravilna namestitev baterij | Replace batteries with new AAA 1.5V batteries; Check battery polarity. |
| Brez svetlobne moči | Device not powered on; Incorrect wavelength selected; Damaged optical port | Ensure device is on; Verify correct wavelength (1310nm/1550nm) is selected; Inspect optical port for damage or contamination. |
| Unstable or incorrect readings (when used with OPM) | Dirty optical connector; Damaged fiber cable; Mismatched wavelength with OPM | Clean optical connector on both OLS and fiber; Replace fiber cable if damaged; Ensure OLS and OPM are set to the same wavelength. |
| Auto-off activates too quickly | Standard feature to save battery | This is normal operation. To prevent auto-off during extended use, periodically press a button. |
