Step 10: Insert Delivery Fiber through Strain Relief
Note: Keep the protective plastic cap on the FC end of the Delivery Fiber during
this step.
The Delivery Fiber has two different connectors: an SMA connector with a hex-
shaped nut and an FC connector with a keyed connector with a round knurled
nut. The FC connector should be inserted into the SoloVPE PLUS instrument
and the SMA end is for the Cary 60/Coupler side.
Insert the FC connector of the Delivery Fiber through the Strain Relief to
properly connect it to the SoloVPE Translation Stage.
Step 11: Connect Delivery Fiber to Translation Stage
The FC Connector is a keyed connection that can only be securely attached
when aligned properly. Rotate the Delivery Fiber to line up the notch on the FC
connector and the keyway on the Translation Stage. Fully insert the FC
connector and tighten the knurled nut securely.
Note: When rotating the FC connector to align the notch, the entire Delivery
Keyway Fiber will need to rotate. It is recommended that the FC connector be
held with one hand as the Delivery Fiber is rotated with a free hand
above the Strain Relief.
Step 12: Install Fiber Optic Coupler (FOC) in Cary 60
Position the FOC above the two raised pins in the base of the sample
compartment and lower into place, making sure it connects securely.
