7.4 How to Clean Delivery Fiber Surfaces
1. Delivery Fiber must be disconnected from the SoloVPE PLUS System.
2. To disconnect the Delivery Fiber, unscrew the connector and pull straight up through the Strain Relief to remove the fiber
end from the transport mechanism.
3. Fold a lint-free wipe and firmly wipe the fiber connector surface in one direction. Repeat a few times.
4. Spray compressed air over connector surface.
5. If residue persists, add cleaning reagent to a lint-free wipe. Wipe the fiber optic surface in one direction until the residue is
removed. See weekly actions in CTech SoloVPE and SoloVPE PLUS Best Practices DOC0153.
6. Repeat if necessary.
7. Reconnect Delivery Fiber, making sure the connector key is properly positioned in the Delivery Fiber. Mount and tighten by
turning the nut clockwise (see Figure 13).
