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.

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.
