2
Wipe off the connector face lengthwise (not with a circular motion!)
using a dry and smooth tissue.
............................................................................................................................................................
3
Then let the connector face air-dry (the isopropanol must evaporate
completely!). As an option, purified compressed air can also be used
for drying.
............................................................................................................................................................
4
If necessary, the connector face can additionally be dabbed on the tape
dispenser.
............................................................................................................................................................
5
Finally check the connector face for cleanliness using the fiberscope.
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 fiberscope!
Coupling
Impurities caused by dust particles or fluff etc. can also occur on
the optical coupling. To clean the coupling follow the instructions
below:
............................................................................................................................................................
1
Soak the coupling cleaner in isopropanol and move it back and forth
in the coupling several times.
............................................................................................................................................................
2
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.
