Ruffy,
Here is some info that might help you.:
The optical fiber transfers the laser beam from the laser to the dynamic optics, and from there to the film surface.
The fiber is sectioned into two parts. One part belongs to the static optic and the other is connected to the dynamic optic. Each end is fixed with a ceramic connector. The optical connector adaptor unit mates the two connectors.
The optical fiber connection is located on the left side of the imagesetter. To reach the assembly, open the left service door. Remove the protective cover from the lower compartment of the Dolev 800.
The connector is sensitive to scratches. Handle with care.
Remove Connector
Turn the connector a half turn and pull it out, or unscrew the connector (depending on the type of connector)
CLEANING
Fold a piece of rice paper, taking care not to touch the cleaning area.
Soak the folded paper with
alcohol (be careful, acetone is forbidden).
Gently wipe the connectors of dirt and the remains of the optical coupling gel.
Remove Fiber from Adaptor
Turn the connector a half turn and take the fiber out of the adaptor.
Assembling the Optic Fibe
Fasten the two connectors back into place.
