Wipe off the connector face lengthwise (not with a circular motion!)

using a dry and smooth tissue.

............................................................................................................................................................

Then let the connector face air-dry (the isopropanol must evaporate

completely!). As an option, purified compressed air can also be used

for drying.

............................................................................................................................................................

If necessary, the connector face can additionally be dabbed on the tape

dispenser.

............................................................................................................................................................

Finally check the connector face for cleanliness using the microscope.

If the connector impurities were not removed completely during the

first cleaning procedure, repeat steps 1-5 until the result is satisfactory.

Note:

Do not connect the optical connectors without checking them for

impurities under the microscope!

Impurities caused by dust particles or fluff etc. can also occur on

the optical coupling. To clean the coupling follow the instructions

below:

............................................................................................................................................................

Soak the coupling cleaner in isopropanol and move it back and forth

in the coupling several times.

............................................................................................................................................................

Blow purified compressed air through the coupling and visually check

for residual impurities by holding it to the light.

Important! Lightguide Build-Outs (LBOs) may be damaged when

compressed air is used for drying. Therefore, do not use compressed

air for drying LBOs.
