FOS Cleaning
The pressure signal from the Fiber optic system is an optical signal, cleanliness of the
connection is critical to insure signal accuracy (FOS light source is unimpeded). Periodic
cleaning of the Fiber optic connector on the AutoCAT
cleaning should be performed as described in Tech Tip 77-001, which can be found in
the AutoCAT
®
2 Series Service Manual (PN IAM-9008) or may be obtained from Arrow
International Field Service.
FOS Slide Connector Interface Replacement
The interface connection housed in the FOS slide connector of the AutoCAT
IABP is recommended for replacement after 200 connections. A connection is defined as
1 insertion of the FiberOptix
connector on the pump. When the 2 beep tone is issued, 1 connection has been made.
Under average use (25 IAB's/year/pump), this connector should be replaced every 2
years. If IABP use is higher or more than an average number of FOS connections are
made, it may need to be replaced every 1 year. Failure to replace this interface may
affect FOS signal accuracy.
Enabling/Disabling Fiber Optic System
Dip switch 6 on CPU is now enabled. When switch 6 is in the ON position the Fiber optic
system is enabled along with all related functions. When switch 6 is OFF, the Fiber optic
system is disabled along with its related functions. This change should be performed by
qualified service personnel.
Do not turn dip switch 6 to the OFF position if Fiber optic AP function is desired.
