Instruction Manual for Optical Connector Cleaner 「CLETOP-S」
3. How to clean the connector

1. Introduction
Thank you for using our optical fiber connector cleaner CLETOP-S. The conventional method of cleaning optical plug
ferrule endfaces depends upon worker-skill and generally requires use of alcohol and wiping with tissue or freon gas.
However, NTT-AT’s connector cleaner CLETOP-S provides thorough cleaning of the ferrule endface by using a dry
alcohol-free cloth and all operators can consistently achieve high quality cleaning without alcohol or other solvents.

(1) The lever winds the cleaning tape equipped inside the cassette and simultaneously opens the shutter.
NOTE 1:
Please push the white marked part ofthe lever as shown in a circle.
If you strongly push other part than
the above, it may cause some troubles.

The CLETOP-S series has excellent anti-static properties to avoid reattachment of dust to the ferrule after
cleaning and is available for static sensitive applications.
The CLETOP (Stick-type) or the NEOCLEAN (Pen-type) is also available for cleaning the ferrule end-face locatedin such difficult spots as the inside of the adaptor.
Please use this product in a proper way based upon this instruction manual.

Prohibited(2) While pressing the lever and keeping your thumb depressed on it, press the optical plug ferrule endface against thecleaning tape surface and move it slowly in arrow’s direction.
