Fiber Optic Pressure
2. Insert the tip of the cleaning stick in the SC female connector and rotate the stick.
3. Allow the SC connector to dry before inserting the SC male connector.

Display configuration
To add fiber optic pressure to the monitor configuration, execute PC-sam and select the
option to "open the MONITOR SETUP window". Select the BP2 box on the left hand
portion of the setup display.
Calibrating the fiber optic pressure sensor
Each fiber optic pressure sensor is factory calibrated.
unique to each sensor is contained in two gage factors. The gage factors are on a label
next to the sensor's SC connector and on the sensor's storage case. The sensor gage
factors need to be entered in PC-sam where they are automatically sent to the Fiber
Optic Pressure Module.
Right click on the IBP2 waveform display to open the GAGE FACTOR LOADER
window. The window has space for gage factors for up to 4 pressure sensors. Click the
IBP2 selection for the sensor ID currently in use. Within 2 to 3 seconds, the gage
factors will automatically be sent to the Fiber Optic Pressure Module.
Gage Factors sent to the Fiber Optic Pressure Module by the PC are first written into
the module's volatile memory. i.e. memory that will be erased when power is removed.
The Module also has EEPROM memory which is non-volatile. The EEPROM memory
is used to store calibration parameters so they can be automatically used when the
module is first turned on.
