7.1 Daily Fiber Optic Probe Tip Inspection
The tip of the instrument Fiber Optic Probe is a clear optical surface which must
be kept free of dust and debris to ensure optimum instrument performance.
Each day, prior to beginning use of the pH SAFE Reader , inspect the surface of
the tip of the instrument Sample Probe. If any dust and/or debris material has
accumulated it is necessary to clean the Fiber Optic Probe tip surface.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the optical surface of the Fiber Optic Probe
tip observe the following precautions:
• Do not perform this procedure if a visual inspection of the FIber
Optic Probe tip surface does not indicate cleaning is necessary.
Clean the probe tip only if dust and/or debris particles are
obviously visible on the probe tip surface.
• Never use solvents or water when cleaning the tip surface.
• Avoid touching the optical surface at the tip of the Fiber Optic
Probe with your fingers.
Materials
Required
Lint-free tissues.
Procedure
1. Visually inspect the tip of the instrument Fiber Optic Probe to determine if
any particles of dust and/or other debris material are present on the optical
surface.
Figure 7-1 Cleaning Fiber Optic Probe Tip
2. Proceed as follows:
• If any dust and/or debris particles are seen , carefully remove these
particles by very gently dabbing or wiping the optical surface of the
probe tip with a dry, lint-free tissue.
• If no dust and/or debris particles are seen , sample probe tip
cleaning is not required.
The instrument is now ready for use.
